Kangana Ranaut’s ‘Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi’ has been surrounded with many controversies i.e from Sonu Sood’s exit to Krish’s fight over the direction credit. The film has faced many hurdles before hitting the screens on 25th January. However, despite its release, it seems that the controversies are not going to end at anytime soon.
Sonu Sood, who was supposed to play the role of Sadashivrao Bhau, reportedly quit the film when Kangana took over the director’s seat after co-director Krish’s unexpected exit, “Why should I take direction from an actor in this film? I signed the film with Krish as director. If he isn’t a part of the film, I don’t want to be part of it either,” he was allegedly heard saying on the film’s sets.
Later Kangana said that Sonu was not comfortable working under a woman director, the latter claimed that he opted out of the film over creative differences. However, Kangana is not happy with Sood talking about the project post his departure from it. She lashed out at Sonu in a recent interview.
In a recent interview with Indian Express, Kangana said, “Sonu Sood is not allowed to talk about the project. He should not be speaking about the film as his contract was terminated. He doesn’t hold any sort of participation in the film. Why is he maligning the film? So, these people have deep-rooted agendas. The worst is that they are claiming to be a part of the film. It is shocking how people can exploit the situation. However, it is a time to celebrate for us as the film has crossed Rs 100 crore worldwide.”
‘Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi’ also features Ankita Lokhande, Jishu Sengupta, Atul Kulkarni, and Manish Wadhwa in pivotal roles.
