New Delhi: Karan Johar on Monday had said that he is excited to watch Kangana Ranaut’s upcoming directorial ‘Emergency.’ The actor has now reacted to KJo’s statement with a dash of allegations. In a recent event, when asked if he’d ever like to make a film about a political event. He replied, “The emergency is being made, and I am excited to watch it.”
In response to this, Kangana said that the last time KJo praised her movie, her directorial debut ‘Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi’, the film incurred heavy losses. The actress alleged that almost all the main actors from the film’s cast were paid back then to speak ill about her and eventually sabotage the film. However, she didn't speak of who paid the actors of her film to spread the alleged disinformation.
The actress wrote on X, formerly named Twitter, , “Ha ha last time when he said he was excited to see Manikarnika, the worse smear campaign of my life was unleashed upon me on its releasing weekend … almost all main actors working in the film were paid to sling mud on me and sabotage the film and suddenly the most successful weekend of my life was turned in to a living nightmare for me … Ha ha I am scared now very scared … because he is excited again (sic)”.
In ‘Emergency,’ Kangana Ranaut is portraying the role of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
The feud between Kangana and Karan started in 2017 when she appeared on his chat show ‘Koffee With Karan’ and called him a ‘flagbearer of nepotism’ and ‘movie mafia’. Later in an event, when Karan was asked about Kangana’s comment, he had said, “When she (Kangana) says ‘movie mafia’ what does she mean, because what does she think we are doing, sitting and not giving her work? Is that what makes our mafia? No, we do that by choice. I do that because maybe I am not interested in working with her and that does not make me movie mafia, it makes me a man with an opinion. I appreciate that she had a great perspective and everyone lauded her for coming on my show. People said ‘she gave it off to Karan' and I would say of course, but I was gracious enough to take everything."
Since then, Kangana frequently comments about Karan Johar whereas the filmmaker has stopped reacting to her comments.
