Krish Challenges Kangana Ranaut ‘One Last Time’

Renowned director Radha Krishna Jagarlamudi who is popularly known as Krish has accused actor Kangana Ranaut of hijacking his film, Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi has spoken ‘one last time’ about the controversy.

Krish was removed from the movie, and Kangana claimed to have reshot significant portions of it, for which she took a co-director credit.

In an appearance on Samantha Akkineni’s talk show, SamJam, Krish was asked about the controversy. “I really want to speak one last time,” he said.

The director said that he wants to speak out one last time. He recalled getting a call 2-days after Kangana Ranaut and her team watched Manikarnika. Krish then revealed how he feared being unknown to the world as a storyteller. He further adds how artists can show something only when given the right opportunities.

In a 2019 interview, Krish had contested Kangana’s claim that she had shot 70% of the movie. “Kangana has done 20-25% of the first half and 10-15% in the second half. I didn’t shoot a song and I didn’t shoot her entry scene. In the second half, she has even re-shot some scenes which I had done differently,” he’d said.

Apart from Kangana, it also features Jisshu Sengupta, Ankita Lokhande, Atul Kulkarni, Danny Denzongpa, Suresh Oberoi, Unnati Davara, and others in crucial roles. It was co-produced by Nishant Pitti and Kamal Jain.
