Kangana Ranaut miffed with Alia Bhatt, Aamir Khan for not supporting 'Manikarnika'

Kangana Ranaut’s movie Manikarnika released on Republic Day and has been performing well at the Box Office. The actress already had a mini success party for the film collecting over 60 crores. She celebrated with her sister Rangoli and team.

However her differences with Bollywood seem to continue. The actress has now lashed at Alia Bhatt and Aamir Khan in an interview to Pinkvilla. Talking about how Alia messaged only during times of need, Kangana mentioned, "These girls send me their trailers like Alia (Bhatt) sent me the trailer of Raazi and said, 'Please watch it'. For me, it was not a Karan Johar film or Alia film, for me, it was a film on Sehmat Khan, the girl who has given her everything to the country."

"I have reached out to them. When I saw Raazi trailer, I called Alia and Meghna (Gulzar), I spoke to each one of them for half an hour. But no response from anyone. This is a very strange sort of a racket. I don't know what they are threatened by," she said.

She also spoke about Aamir and went on to add, "When Aamir called me for Dangal, Secret Superstar, I went all the way to Ambani's house. Dangal, for me, was a film about women empowerment. But they don't have time for any of my trails. I have two-three films coming up, but I don't expect people to write about them."

Coming to her film Manikarnika’s release, neither of the celebs came in support. A dismayed Kangana then questioned, "How do these people become so petty? How do these people look at a film, like for an individual, "Arre yaar, iska na kuch ho jaye, main chup baithta hoon!" How do they do that? How does it even work? For me, this is a revelation that this film, what Rani Laxmibai has done, is this freedom only mine? Doesn't it belong to anybody else?"

The actress in fact went on to say that even during the time when she got all the credit for Queen, it wasn’t for her but Phantom Films who were just starting out. She said, "In 2014, I don't think all the accolades were for me, it was for Phantom who was coming up and there were having screenings after screenings for people of Vikas and Anurag Kashyap. They had a lot of friends, so they used to come. I have always been absolutely ignored. After Tanu Weds Manu also I have had so many trials, they would just not come. But when it comes to them, they call me shamelessly, I even sort of cancel my shoots and make sure I attend them. Now, I have stopped because it's getting too much."

This isn’t the first time when Kangana spoke against Bollywood. She had previously told News18, “I don’t feel so threatened by anyone around. You know like you see I will praise Alia or I would praise Anushka or I would praise everyone. I never shied away from going to Deepika’s Piku trial. Everyone I have praised in my capacity. Sonakshi’s Lootera I saw and the whole year I praised her. I don’t get threatened.”
