Bollywood actress and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut is making headlines with her upcoming film, ‘Emergency.’ As she gears up for its release in theaters, Kangana is actively involved in promoting the film. Known for her candid opinions, the actress often speaks out against numerous celebrities in the industry, including the renowned director Karan Johar. Recently, during a promotional interview at LallanTop, Kangana shared her thoughts on Karan Johar, making headlines with her statements.
Kangana’s Unique Take on Karan Johar
When asked if Karan Johar would play the role of a villain in her biopic, Kangana delivered a witty response. She explained, “Since my biopic will be grand, it wouldn’t feature small local figures as villains. Instead, we’ll make him (Karan Johar) a minor villain.” This statement highlights her belief that her life story involves bigger challenges and adversaries.
Highlighting Industry Politics
Kangana expressed that in the film industry, a light-heartedness exists when one speaks out and then moves on. She specifically recalled a memorable episode of ‘Koffee with Karan’ where she famously roasted Karan Johar. When asked what happened after that show, Kangana revealed:
“Karan Knows His Misdeeds”
“Karan Johar is quite aware of his actions; he’s a smart man. He decided long ago that he would seek vengeance on me for my comments, but that was part of a particular phase.” This remark initiated a long-standing feud between them, which has continued to capture public attention.
The Challenges Kangana Faced
In the same interview, Kangana discussed the challenges she faced in the industry, including being targeted and at one point considering leaving the country due to the negativity surrounding her. She reflected, “There was a time when people praised my acting so much that they believed I wouldn’t thrive in Bollywood.” After feeling discouraged, the actress temporarily moved to America.
Upcoming Release of ‘Emergency’
Kangana’s film ‘Emergency’ is set to release on September 6 this year. Amidst the promotional activity, she recently posted a video revealing that the certification of her film was halted due to threats received regarding its content. Following the trailer launch, the Sikh community has called for a ban, alleging that the movie portrays them negatively and damages their image. In ‘Emergency,’ Kangana plays the role of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, alongside notable actors Anupam Kher and Shreyas Talpade. Notably, Kangana is also the director and producer of the film.
Conclusion
Kangana Ranaut’s statements and upcoming film have rekindled conversations about the dynamics within the Bollywood industry. As she prepares for the release of ‘Emergency,’ it will be interesting to see how audiences react to her portrayal of Indira Gandhi and how the ongoing controversies influence the film’s reception.
