Kangana Ranaut Reacts To Pathaan's Success, Says The Film Shows Pakistan In Good Light

Kangana Ranaut has indirectly reacted to Karan Johar’s remark on the success of 'Pathaan' and said that the film was 'running successfully' in theatres only because of 'India’s love and inclusiveness'

New Delhi: Filmmaker Karan Johar on Thursday took to his Instagram stories and wrote about ‘Pathaan’s humongous box office collection. Sharing a poster of Shah Rukh Khan from Pathaan, Karan Johar had written on Instagram Stories, "Hits beyond a century!!! ₹100 crore and above in one day! GOAT (Greatest Of All Time) megastar SRK, visionary and legendary YRF and Adi (Aditya Chopra)… Sid (Siddharth Anand), Deepika, John!!! Wow. Love forever trumps hate! Mark this date..." 

Now Kangana Ranaut has now indirectly reacted to Karan’s remark and said that the film was 'running successfully' in theatres only because of 'India’s love and inclusiveness' towards 'a film called Pathaan'. 

Kangana took to Twitter and wrote: "All those who are claiming Pathan is triumph of love over hate, I agree but whose love over whose hate? Let's be precise, whose is buying tickets and making it a success? Yes it is India's love and inclusiveness where eighty per cent Hindus lives and yet a film called Pathan."  

She added: "Which shows our enemy nation Pakistan and ISIS in good light is running successfully, it is this spirit of India beyond hate and judgements that makes it Mahan it is the love of India that has triumphed hate and petty politics of enemies." 

The actress further said: "Lekin all those who are having high hopes please note… Pathan sirf ek film ho sakti hai … goonjega toh yahan sirf Jai Shri Ram … Jai Shri Ram” 

“I do believe Indian Muslims are patriotic and very different from Afghan Pathans … the crux is India will never be Afghanistan, we all know what is happening in Afghanistan, it’s beyond hell there, so apt name for the movie Pathan according to its storyline is the Indian Pathan,” she added. 

 

‘Pathaan’, starring, Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, and John Abraham, is shattering one box office record after another. It became the first Hindi film to reach Rs 100 crore mark worldwide on the first day of its release. The film entered the 100 crore club in India on the second day of its release.  

'Pathaan' presents the story of an Indian spy who can get into any system or circle given his stealth and chameleon abilities to merge with the world that he resides in. The film is the first of SRK's three films after a hiatus of over four years for the actor.
