Kangana Ranaut Opens Up On 'Conspiracy' Against Her: 'Actors Were Receiving Calls To Not Work With Me'

Kangana Ranaut, who’s all set for her upcoming film Emergency, has dropped a bombshell, yet again, claiming there’s been a ‘conspiracy’ against her in Bollywood. In a recent interview, the actress alleged that many casting directors, cinematographers and actors outright refused to work with her. Speaking to The Times of India, Kangana revealed that industry insiders were warning others not to work with her. She said, “Several casting directors, and DOPs refused to work with me. Actors were receiving calls to not work with me. There was a lot of conspiracy against me.”

The actor-director said she felt lucky to work with stars like Anupam Kher, Shreyas Talpade, Satish Kaushik, and Mahima Choudhary despite the challenges. She called it “the best feeling” when people choose to work with you in tough times. She also mentioned that her Emergency cast didn’t just agree to work with her—they treated her with respect and love.

At the trailer launch of her upcoming film Emergency in Mumbai, Kangana Ranaut was asked if she sees herself as a one-woman army and if she relates to Salman Khan’s struggles of being misunderstood in Bollywood. With her usual confidence, Kangana responded that she prefers to focus on her fans and the positive feedback she receives. She said that she’s more interested in the love and support she gets than in the critics who want her out of the industry.

Kangana also spoke of a few “negative people” in the film industry who have formed their own circle, and she feels that in their eyes, she will always be a problem because they feel that their own people should be in this position. She said, “Kuch jo log hain, negative log jo hain film industry ke log hain, jinon ne apna ek circle banaya hai, unki aankhon mein to main khatkiongi kyunki unko lagega ki hamare apne log is jagah pe hone chahiye aur Kangana nahin honi chahiye. Woh unke apne group ke honge, gang ke honge ya family ke honge. Woh is type par logon ko kyun sambodhit karein. Itna ninety percent log aapse pyaar karte hain, sirf woh teen percent par hi focus karna chahte hain jo ki hamesha khurafat karte rahte hain. I think that’s not the way to look at life (These people might belong to their group, gang, or family. Why should we address such people? Ninety percent of people love you, but some only focus on the three percent who constantly create trouble).”

Kangana Ranaut’s directorial Emergency will release on September 6.
