Kangana Ranaut gets 'MEAN' towards Alia Bhatt, calls her ‘chota bachcha as gangster’ (Read her comment)
Kangana Ranaut takes a jibe at Alia Bhatt for her role in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Gangubai Kathiawadi and more
Without mentioning names, Kangana Ranaut took an indirect dig at Alia Bhatt and her upcoming movie, Gangubai Kathiawadi. Ranaut responded to stories that Thalaivi might get a direct-to-digital release amid the Covid-19 pandemic, describing it ‘fake propaganda’.
With the second wave of COVID-19, many Indian films skipped their theatrical release by going for the OTT release or Pay per View platform.
Coming back to Ranaut, she had now declared that the digital rights of her film Thalaivi being with Amazon Prime Video (Tamil) and Netflix (Hindi), none of the platforms would release it before the theatrical release, calling the news 'fake propaganda'.
She said strict action would be taken on the media for spreading these rumours. Her INSTA Stories read, “Thalaivi digital rights are with Amazon (Tamil) and Netflix (Hindi) none of them can individually stream the movie before theatres release, all the fake propaganda movie mafia doing please ignore. Thalaivi deserves a theatrical release and makers are determined, strict actions will be taken against any bikau media spreading fake propaganda.”
As she wrote, Kangana mocked Alia’s ‘performance’ in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Gangubai Kathiawadi, “Bikau media write about ‘the film’ whose trailer was hugely criticised and mocked for bad acting and wrong casting of chota bachcha as gangster and is now being dumped on digital platform. Write about ‘the film’ which is being dumped on digital as they have the reality check that the film is a mistake, I don’t see enough news about that…”
Earlier Kangana’s sister Rangoli Chandel shared a screenshot of a news statement saying that Bhansali was considering an OTT release for Gangubai Kathiawadi. “To hide this... @aliabhatt,” she wrote. She also shared an image of reports speculating that Thalaivi might skip a ztheatrical release and wrote, “They will spread this, it's a lie dont believe. Nepo mafia PR, thalaivi is coming in theatres. Nepotism mafia stop fake propaganda, bikau media stop selling yourself, thalaivi in theatres.”
