Mumbai: Actress Kangana Ranaut slammed filmmaker Karan Johar and his latest romantic comedy film 'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani' starring Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh, calling it "rubbish".
She questioned the filmmaker for calling himself the “flag bearer of Indian cinema and perpetually regressing it” and said that shame on him for copying his own films of the nineties.
Kangana took to Instagram, where she first drew parallels between 'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani' to last week's Hollywood release, Christopher Nolan's 'Oppenheimer'.
"Shame on you Karan Johar for making the same nth time … calling yourself the flag bearer of Indian cinema and perpetually regressing it … Don't waste funds it's not an easy time for the industry, retire now and let young filmmakers make new and revolutionary films," she wrote.
By using the term "Nepo gang" in her Instagram story, she hinted at Johar, whom she once called the "flag bearer of nepotism" on an episode of 'Koffee with Karan’.
She called the film a 'daily soap' and pointed out that the audience can't be fooled anymore.
"They have rejected atrocious and creatively poor films full of fake sets and over-the-top fake costumes, who dresses like this in real life also where are tacky houses like those in Delhi??? What rubbish!!!! Shame on Karan Johar for copying his own vintage movies of the nineties.”
“How come he spent Rs 250 crore on this stupidity? Who gives them this kind of money while real talent struggles to get funds !!!”, the actress asked.
The actress also gave a word of advice to actor Ranveer Singh on his dressing style.
"My sincere advice to @ranveersingh he should stop getting influenced by Karan Johar and his dressing sense … he should dress up like a normal human being, like Dharm ji (Dharmendra) or Vinod Khanna ji dressed in their days, Indian people can't identify with a cartoon looking person calling himself a hero, please see all south heroes how they dress up and carry themselves with great dignity and integrity….. They look manly and dignified… people don't ruin the culture in our country."
