What Kangana said about AR Rahman
Taking to her Instagram Stories on Saturday, Kangana shared a screenshot of AR Rahman from the BBC Asian Network interview and wrote in the caption, “Dear @arrahman ji, I face so much prejudice and partiality in the film industry because I support a saffron party yet I must say I have not come across a man more prejudiced and hateful than you.”
'I was told you don't want to be part of a propaganda film'
She added, “I desperately wanted to narrate my directorial Emergency to you. Forget narration, you even refused to meet me. I was told you don't want to be part of a propaganda film. Ironically, Emergency was called a masterpiece by all critics. Even opposition party leaders sent me fan leaders appreciating the film for its balanced and compassionate approach but you are blinded by your hate. I feel sorry for you #emergency.”
