New Delhi: Kangana Ranaut was recently nominated for the Best Actress category by the Filmfare which will soon be having its 67th Filmfare awards. Turns out the actress has decided to sue the leading magazine for inviting her to the awards night and wanting to give her an award for 'Thalaivi'. Kangana Ranaut explained her decision through an Instagram story.
“I've banned unethical, corrupt and totally unfair practices like @filmfare since 2014, but since I have been getting many calls from them for attending their award function this year as they want to give me award for Thalaivii... I am shocked to know that they are still nominating me. It is beneath my dignity, work ethics and value system to encourage such corrupt practices in anyway, that is why I have decided to sue @filmfare ... thanks,” her note on Instagram story read.
Kangana has been nominated in the Best Actress in a Leading role category alongside Kiara Advani for 'Shershaah', Kriti Sanon for 'Mimi', Parineeti Chopra for 'Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar', Taapsee Pannu for 'Rashami Rocket', and Vidya Balan for 'Sherni'. Kangana's co-star from 'Thalaivi' Raj Arjun has also been nominated in the Best Actor for the Supporting role category.
Earlier, Kangana had called for a boycott of international awards like Oscars and Emmys for not paying tributes to Lata Mangeshkar. Then, Kangana had posted through her Instagram story,"We must take strong stands against any local awards who claim to be international and yet ignore and intentionally sideline legendary artists because of their race or ideologies... both Oscar and Grammy failed to give tribute to Bharat Ratna Lata Mangeshkar Ji... our media should totally boycott these biased local events who claim to be global awards...," adding that "We should boycott these snooty western awards."
On the work front, Kangana has the film ‘Emergency’ in the pipeline. ‘Emergency’ also marks Kangana’s directorial debut whilst she plays the role of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in it.
