Kangana Ranaut has posted a clip from the past where Karan Johar responds to her accusation of ‘movie mafia’ and expresses disinterest in working with her. Kangana shared the edited video on her Instagram Stories, including both Karan’s comment and her response.
Kangana Ranaut has shared an old clip on her Instagram Stories which features filmmaker Karan Johar’s reaction to her accusations of the ‘movie mafia’, where he stated that he was not interested in working with her. Kangana also wrote that she would use these remarks as motivation to establish herself as a filmmaker and producer. Kangana had previously called Karan the ‘flagbearer of nepotism’ and ‘movie mafia’ during her appearance on his chat show ‘Koffee with Karan’.
In 2017, Karan spoke about Kangana at an event at the London School of Economics. Karan had said, “When she said ‘movie mafia’ what does she mean? What does she think we are doing? Sitting and not giving her work? Is that what makes us mafia? No, we do that by choice. I do that because maybe I am not interested in working with her.”
The edited clip also had a segment of Kangana speaking at an India Today event. She had said, “He said I am jobless and looking for job from him or something like that. I mean look at my talent and look at your movies. I mean really?”
Over the last few years, Kangana and Karan made several remarks at each other. Recently, actor Priyanka Chopra in a conversation with Dax Shepherd on his podcast Armchair Expert had said, “I was being pushed into a corner in the industry. I had people not casting me, I had beef with people, I am not good at playing that game so I kind of was tired of the politics and I said I needed a break.”
She had added, “This music thing gave me an opportunity to go into another part of the world, not crave for the movies I didn’t want to get but I would require to schmooze certain clubs and cliques of people. It would require grovelling and I had worked a long time by then that I didn’t feel like I wanted to do it.”
Reacting to it, Kangana had said on her Instagram Stories, “Truth remains Cruella has done big favour on us by bullying and isolating us… PC became a Hollywood star and I produced and directed my own film which is releasing this year…”
In a tweet thread, Kangana had also said, “This obnoxious, jealous, mean and toxic person should be held accountable for ruining the culture and environment of the film industry which was never hostile to outsiders in the days of AB or SRK.His gang and mafia PR should be raided and held accountable for harassing outsiders…”
In another post, she mentioned, “Media wrote extensively about her fall out with Karan Johar because of her friendship with SRK and movie mafia Cruella who is always looking for vulnerable outsiders saw a perfect punching bag in PC and went all out in harassing her to a point where she had to leave India.”
