Kangana Ranaut has taken another potshot at Bollywood. Taking to her Instagram Stories, Kangana said that ‘no one from the industry applauds or appreciates’ that Kashmir Files is the first successful and profitable Hindi film in the theatres following the pandemic. The statement came a day after Akshay Kumar hailed Anupam Kher and the team of The Kashmir Files for bringing back the audiences to the theatres in large numbers.
“The Kashmir Files is the first successful and profitable Hindi film in theatres post pandemic…. I am telling you all this because movie mafia, their chatikaar and their bikau media won’t tell you … no one from the industry applaud or appreciate it so I am doing my bit (sic),” Kangana Ranaut wrote on her Instagram Stories.
