Bollywood actress and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut, known for her bold and unfiltered opinions, recently made headlines with her comments about director Karan Johar. As she gears up for the release of her upcoming film, Emergency, Kangana appeared on Lallantop for an interview, where she was asked about the possibility of Karan Johar playing the villain in her much-anticipated biopic. True to her outspoken nature, Kangana’s response was both humorous and revealing.
Kangana’s Take on Karan Johar’s Role in Her Biopic
When asked if Karan Johar would be portrayed as the antagonist in her biopic, Kangana quipped that her story has grown too big for someone like Karan to play a significant role. She said, “Now my biopic will be big, so such small, local people will not be the villains in it. He (Karan Johar) will make him a small villain.”
Kangana’s remarks underline her belief that Karan Johar, whom she has often clashed with, would only play a minor part in the grand narrative of her life. She hinted that her journey now involves much bigger challenges and adversaries than what Karan Johar represents.
The Infamous “Koffee with Karan” Episode
Kangana also touched upon the infamous episode of Koffee with Karan, where she first publicly called Karan Johar the “mafia” of Bollywood and the villain of her life. This declaration marked the beginning of a long-standing feud between the two, which has since become a well-known rivalry in the industry.
Reflecting on that moment, Kangana suggested that Karan Johar has always been aware of his actions. She said, “Karan Johar knows about his deeds, he is a very smart person. He had decided then that he will definitely take revenge from me, but never mind, that was also a time.” Her words imply that despite the tensions, she has moved beyond these conflicts, while Karan may still harbor animosity.
Kangana’s Journey and Challenges in Bollywood
During the interview, Kangana also spoke about the challenges she faced in Bollywood, the praise she once received, and how those experiences shaped her career. She recalled a time when she was widely praised for her acting skills, which led her to believe that she was untouchable in the industry. However, the reality proved different, prompting her to leave the country and spend time in the United States.
Emergency: Kangana’s Upcoming Release
Kangana’s latest film, Emergency, is set to release on September 6. The film, in which she portrays former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, has already stirred controversy. The Sikh community has raised objections to the film, claiming it portrays them negatively. In response to the backlash, Kangana revealed in a video that the censor certification for Emergency has been delayed due to threats.
Despite these challenges, Kangana remains determined. Not only is she the lead actress in Emergency, but she is also its director and producer, showcasing her multifaceted talent in the film industry. The movie also features Anupam Kher and Shreyas Talpade in significant roles, adding to the anticipation surrounding its release.
As Emergency nears its release, Kangana’s comments about Karan Johar and her reflections on her journey in Bollywood offer a glimpse into the complexities of her life, both on and off the screen.
