Actor-politician Kangana Ranaut has stirred the pot yet again, reigniting her long-running feud with filmmaker Karan Johar. In a fresh dig, the actor didn’t stop there and also took a sly swipe at Anurag Kashyap and Aditya Chopra. When prompted to pick between the three directors, Kangana dismissed the question altogether, quipping that her standards are “not that low”.

Kangana Ranaut takes fresh dig at Karan Johar

Kangana Ranaut and Karan Johar’s feud dates back to 2017.

Recently, Kangana joined News 18 Rising Bharat Summit for a session. Following the chat, she faced a rapid-fire round packed with Bollywood-centric questions, where she described Salman Khan as “cool,” took yet another dig at Bollywood filmmakers, and even picked who she thought was the better actor among Ananya Panday, Janhvi Kapoor, and Sara Ali Khan.

Kangana was asked to choose between Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Aamir Khan based on friendship. To this, she said, “Yeh mere dost kab se bann gaye (Since when did they become my friends?)... But I think Salman is quite cool.”

The discussion then veered towards the younger crop of Bollywood stars. Kangana was asked to choose the better actor among Ananya Panday, Janhvi Kapoor and Sara Ali Khan. Kangana laughed and replied, “Let’s go with Ananya Panday.”

Kangana and Karan’s long-standing feud dates back several years, famously ignited in 2017 when she labelled him the “flag-bearer of nepotism” during an appearance on his chat show, Koffee with Karan.

During an appearance on Koffee With Karan in 2017, Kangana also called Karan the ‘movie mafia’, which marked the beginning of their ongoing fight. She had said, “In my biopic, if ever it's made, you'll play that stereotypical Bollywood biggie, who is like you know, very snooty and completely intolerant towards outsiders, flag-bearer of nepotism, the movie mafia.” She has often accused him of conspiring to sabotage the careers of outsiders and promoting star kids instead.

What’s next for Kangana

On the film front, Kangana was last seen in Emergency, a biopic of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, which received mixed reviews and a tepid box-office response. She has also started working on a new project titled Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata.
