Kangana Ranaut, who openly slammed journalist and film critic Rajeev Masand for allegedly writing ‘blind items’ against late Sushant Singh Rajput, launched a fresh attack on him after he joined Karan Johar’s Dharma Cornerstone Agency as the COO. The ‘Panga’ actress accused him of giving negative reviews to good films and called him Karan Johar’s ‘minion’.
“Rajeev wrote the most poisonous blind items about Shushant and me, he openly licked mediocre star kids and gave negative reviews to genuinely good films, even as a journalist he was always KJO minion. Good he left jurno facade and joined KJO officially,” Kangana wrote while reacting to a news piece.
The ‘Queen’ actress, who accused Bollywood biggies of sabotaging Sushant’s career in an interview, demanded strict laws in the film industry. In her second tweet, she said that movie mafia tries to run a campaign against some actors by ruining their image.
“This is how movie mafia hijacks key people in every place, agents/critics/journalists/distributors/award jury they plant their minions in your personal life to ruin you from every angle, they ban you n ruin your image, many succumb few survive. Need strict laws in movie industry,” she further tweeted.
Earlier in the day, Dharma Cornerstone Agency issued a statement to announce the appointment of Masand as the Chief Operating Officer of the company.
