Kangana Ranaut's Sister to Manikarnika Co-director Krish Jagarlamudi: Calm Down, Leave Her Alone

Manikarnika was mired up in a lot of controversies after the director of the film, Radha Krishna Jagarlamudi or Krish as he is popularly known, abruptly walked out of the film. In a recent interview, he opened up about the controversy and Kangana Ranaut taking the direction of the film.

He a told media portal, "I don’t know how Kangana can sleep well by taking the first credit in direction when she does not deserve it."

When he was asked about how much of his portions Kangana cut from the film, he said, "Difficult to say. But I think Kangana has done 20-25 per cent of the first 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 in a different way. But it’s okay now. The film is looking brilliant. I am happy that she didn’t spoil it much."

Now replying to his statements, Kangana's sister Rangoli Chandel took to Twitter and asked Krish to calm down and leave her sister alone. Asking him to take a back seat she wrote, "chalo man liya you directed the whole film now please calm down, still Kangana is the leading face of the film let her enjoy this moment of her success and great appreciation, please leave her alone, we all believe you now please take a seat."

Krish had also said that he was told that Zee Studios, the production house behind the film, hadn't liked his cut.

"Kangana even told me that Zee Studios hadn’t liked what I had made. It was looking like a Bhojpuri film. I laughed. People know my previous work. We argued but she wanted her own way. I just couldn’t understand," he said.

Krish also claimed that Kangana wanted Sonu Sood’s character to be killed off in the first half itself which led to big arguments between the actress and him.

“She (Kangana) said Sonu is not required in the second half. But I put my foot down. Big arguments followed. Kamal Jain (one of the film’s producers) took Kangana’s side," he added.
