Simran writer Apurva Asrani attacks Kangana Ranaut in a cryptic tweet and says that despite all her 'evil' shenanigans, Manikarnika: the Queen of Jhansi is a flop.
Controversy's blue-eyed girl Kangana Ranaut is back to making headlines for all the wrong reasons. Though her film Manikarnika is doing well at the box office, Kangana has attracted fire from several quarters. For one, director Krish Jagarlmudi was upset over her claim that she had directed over 70% of the film. This war of words revived old wounds, and Simran writer Apurva Asrani hit out at Kangana in a cryptic tweet.
Apurva Asrani and Kangana had a public falling out over the writing credits during the filming of Hansal Mehta's Simran. Apurva tweeted, "You can... Hijack the passion project of a senior director Hire another director, but fire him after he's completed the film.. Claim credit as the films director.. Even have the trade & press support your evil shenanigans...but still make a flop film.."

Apurva is referring to Ketan Mehta who had announced in 2016 that he wanted to do Jhansi Ki Rani with Kangana. However, Kangana moved ahead with the character and chose Krish for the film, resulting in much bitterness.
Soni Razdan responded to Apurva's tweet saying,"Why did Ketan wait all this time to fight this but ... everyone knew the film was being made. Why not stop this before it went as far as the theatres and released?"

Why did Ketan wait all this time to fight this but ... everyone knew the film was being made. Why not stop this before it went as far as the theatres and released ?

Hansal Mehta has opened up as well. The filmmaker, who had directed Simran, starring Kangana, had kept quiet about the showdowns on set at the time.
He wrote in a lengthy post, "Many people keep dragging me into the controversies around Kangana Ranaut that seem to erupt from time to time. For the last time - Simran is a closed chapter as far as i am concerned. The past two years have been difficult, very difficult. They have impacted me financially, mentally, and physically. I am dealing with my losses in the most constructive manner possible and in the only way I know - by moving on."

Apurva has commented on Manikarnika in the past, as well. In a September tweet thread, the writer had said, "A star hijacking a film & running down the hard work of crew member/s is the worst form of hara-kiri there is. When affected filmmakers cannot control this & instead put on a facade of a dignified silence’, they allow a monstrous ego to go on a rampage & eventually kill the film."
"Before your self-esteem is eroded. Unless of course you are greedy for a commercial hit’ and are prepared to sacrifice your team. I think in the current hijacked film the director has bowed out, he added.
In his interview, Krish had spoken about the behind-the-scenes drama with Kangana. "We argued but she wanted her own way. I just couldn't understand," he said, adding, "She is rude all the time."
Krish also said that his identity was tampered with in the credits of Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi. "The first poster which bore the date, had my name. Then came the teaser, which had my name but not as Krish which I am known as in the industry including in the credit titles of my previous films. I was given a new name - Radha Krishna Jagarlamudi - which I never use," he said.
When he tried to change this around, Kangana snapped at him. "When I spoke to them about the distortion of my name in the teaser, Kangana told me 'You didn't support me in the Sonu Sood episode. Aapko abhi zaroorat hai toh aaye ho.' She told me I have anger management issues, but it was she who was shouting at me. And now after seeing the film, I see my name again distorted and now in a separate slide!" he revealed.
