16th April 2023, Mumbai: Kangana Ranaut recently posted an old clip on her Instagram Stories which featured filmmaker Karan Johar responding to her accusation of a “movie mafia” and stating that he has no inclination to collaborate with her. The clip was edited to include Karan’s statement as well as Kangana’s response.
Along with the clip, Kangana wrote, “Chacha Chaudhary thanks for these frivolous outbursts when I establish myself as a filmmaker and producer…Will rub these in your face ” A few years ago, when Kangana was a guest on Karan Johar’s chat show Koffee With Karan, she had called him the flag bearer of nepotism and movie mafia.
At the London School of Economics event in 2017, Karan Johar had commented on Kangana, stating “When she mentioned ‘movie mafia’, what exactly does she imply? Does she think that we are sitting around deliberately not offering her work? Is that what she considers the mafia? No, we do that willingly. I choose not to work with her because I am not interested.
The edited video shared by Kangana on her Instagram Stories also included a clip of her speaking at an event, where she had responded to Karan’s comment about her being jobless and seeking work from him. Kangana had remarked, “He said I am jobless and begging for work from him or something of that sort. I mean, just look at my talent and then look at the kind of movies he makes. It’s just laughable, isn’t it?
In recent years, both Kangana and Karan have exchanged numerous comments directed towards one another.
