His villainous look with a shrewd smile and a moustache has got a thumbs up from his friends and colleagues from tinsel town.
In the Anurag Kashyap directorial, Karan plays Kaizad Khambatta, an arch rival of street fighter Johnny Balraj, played by Ranbir Kapoor.
Actor Sidharth Malhotra, who essayed the role of a lover out for vengeance in an aptly named film "Ek Villain", praised KJo, director of his debut film "Student Of The Year".
