The rivalry between Karan Johar and Kangana Ranaut in Bollywood is no secret, with the actress often referring to the filmmaker as a flag bearer of nepotism and the movie mafia. However, Karan has now expressed his excitement to watch “Emergency,” a movie featuring and made by Kangana.
During an event with The Indian Express on Monday, Karan was asked about his plans to watch the film. He responded, “Emergency is being made and I am excited to watch it.”
However, Kangana reacted to Karan’s statement on her Twitter handle. When a user remarked, “Really? Change of heart,” Kangana responded by recalling her past experience, “Ha ha last time, when he said he was excited to see Manikarnika, the worst smear campaign of my life was unleashed upon me on its releasing weekend…”
Continuing, Kangana Ranaut wrote, “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 into a living nightmare for me… Ha ha, I am scared now, very scared… because he is excited again…”
Regarding the movie “Emergency,” it was initially directed by Krish. He accused Kangana of taking over the film and making significant changes. Krish was removed, and Kangana re-shot major portions, crediting herself as a co-director. In a 2019 interview with SpotboyE, Krish contested Kangana’s claim that she had shot 70 percent of the film.
He stated, “Kangana has done 20-25 percent of the first half and 10-15 percent in the second half. I didn’t shoot a song, and I didn’t shoot her entry scene. In the second half, she has even re-shot some scenes, which I had done differently… Kangana even told me that Zee Studios didn’t like what I had made. It was looking like a Bhojpuri film. I laughed. People know my previous work. We argued, but she wanted her own way. I just couldn’t understand.” He added that Kangana was consistently rude to him and others.
