Kangana Ranaut speaks out against 'harmful' paid media

Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut has spoken out against the trend of paid entertainment news, and said the focus should remain on the content of the film rather than the fluff. The National Award-winning actress expressed her views on the prevalent trend at the launch of Anupama Chopra's book 'The Front Row: Conversations On Cinema'. Kangana said, "I feel they (paid media stories) are very harmful for the business aspect of our craft. You spend so much to buy these media net stories or full page ads to build perception...you can rather save this money and put it in the making or marketing of the film". The 28-year-old actress also highlighted the adverse effect of such a trend on small budget films.
