Kangana warns Bollywood to stay away from politics amid ‘Pathaan’ success

On Saturday morning, actress-filmmaker Kangana Ranaut warned Bollywood and asked them to ‘enjoy their success’ and ‘stay away from politics’ amid the roaring success of Shah Rukh Khan’s latest release ‘Pathaan’.

Kangana wrote: “Bollywood walon yeh narrative banane ki koshish mat karna ki iss desh mein tum Hindu hate se suffer kar rahe ho, agar main phir se yeh word suna ‘triumph over hate’ toh tum logon ki wahi class lagegi jo kal lagi thi. Enjoy your success and do good work, stay away from politics.”

However, the ‘Dhaakad’ actress’ tweet did not go down well with many users.

“Enjoy your success and do good work. Stay away from politics. Wonder who needs to hear that most,” a netizen commented.

One said: “Aap Bollywood se nahi ho? Aap Hollywood se ho? Aap kyun aisi baatein karti ho?”

“Chalo #Pathaan ko side mein karte hai.. another example of ‘triumph over hate’ is how your last 9 movies tanked one after another. The audience has rejected @KanganaTeam we know you are desperate now to be where Smriti Irani is,” wrote another.

“Stay away from politics? look who’s talking,” said a user. Kangana had earlier said that the film shows ‘enemy’ Pakistan in good light.

Trolls say Kangana’s films haven’t made as much as ‘Pathaan’ did on Day 1

Actress Kangana Ranaut has been trolled on social media for slamming superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s latest film ‘Pathaan’.

Kangana has strongly spoken against the content of the film. Kangana has pointed out the negative aspects of the film.

She wrote on Twitter: ” All those who are claiming Pathaan is a triumph of love over hate, I agree but whose love over whose hate? Let’s be precise, who is buying tickets and making it a success? Yes, it is India’s love and inclusiveness where eighty percent of Hindus live, and yet a film called Pathaan.”

However, this did not go down well with the fans as she first praised the film and then took a U-turn.

A fan went on to tell her that the one-day earning of ‘Pathaan’ is her lifetime earnings.

Known for being vocal, Kangana replied to the user: “Nimo bhai I don’t have any earnings left.”

“I have put my house my office every single thing that I owned on a mortgage just to make a film which will celebrate the Constitution of India and our love for this great nation � paise toh sabhi kama lete hain aisa koi hai jo aise udai.”

‘My wife changed me with love’, Rajinikanth says at ‘Charukesi’ rollout

Actor Y Gee Mahendra’s popular stage play ‘Charukesi’ is all set to be made into a movie. Tamil superstar Rajinikanth made this announcement at the 50th show of ‘Charukesi’ at Vani Mahal in Chennai. He also kickstarted the project with the customary ‘clap’.

Rajinikanth said: “In 1975 when I went to see the play ‘Ragasiyam Parama Ragasiyam’, I was not allowed in. But now I am here as the special guest at the 50th show of ‘Charukesi’. This is all an act of time.:

He added: “Popular actors, including Nagesh, Jayalalithaa, Cho, Visu, and so on, are from the UAA theatre troupe. It is a disciplined troupe with many educated people and experts from various fields.”

Rajinikanth noted that had “Nadigar Thilagam Sivaji Ganesan been alive, ‘Charukesi’ would have been another ‘Vietnam Veedu’.”

He continued: “As far as this drama is concerned, the story, screenplay, characters, and dialogues are all well placed. The cinema industry has not used an actor like Y Gee Mahendra to his full potential.

“I am confident that this play will be a huge success when it is made into a film. Vasanth will write the screenplay, which will add more strength to the film.”

On a personal note, he said: “Y Gee Mahendra was the main reason for my marriage. At one point in my life, I was almost addicted to smoking, drinking, and non-vegetarian food. I used to pity vegetarians. It was my wife Latha who changed me with love.”

He urged all those gathered at the auditorium to quit smoking and drinking.

In his speech, Y Gee Mahendra said: “There is only one Makkal Thilagam, only one Nadigar Thilagam, only one Mellisai Mannar, only one Kavignar Kannadasan, and there can be only one Superstar, who is Rajinikanth.”

Venkat has written the story and dialogues for ‘Charukesi’, which is based on a thought given by the late dramatist Crazy Mohan. The play is directed by Y Gee Mahendra. The story revolves around the life of a musician suffering from Alzheimer’s.

‘Charukesi’ will be adapted into a movie by SARP (Sri Agraharam Rajalakshmi) Picture Production. National Award-winning director Vasanth S. Sai will pen the screenplay and double as the creative director. Y Gee Mahendra is playing the lead role, besides directing the movie. Details about other actors and crew will be announced soon.

‘Indian Pathaan’: Kangana renames film, gives ‘Indian Muslims’ her ‘patriotic’ stamp

Actress Kangana Ranaut has said that she wants to rename Shah Rukh Khan’s latest release ‘Pathaan’ to ‘Indian Pathaan’ as Indian Muslims are patriotic and different from Afghan Pathans.

Kangana took to her Twitter handle @KanganaTeam and wrote: “All those who are claiming Pathan is a triumph of love over hate, I agree but whose love over whose hate? Let’s be precise, who is buying tickets and making it a success? Yes, it is India’s love and inclusiveness where eighty percent of Hindus lives, and yet a film called Pathan.”

She added: “Which shows our enemy nation Pakistan and ISIS in good light is running successfully, it is this spirit of India beyond hate and judgments that make it Mahana it is the love of India that has triumphed over hate and petty politics of enemies. Lekin all those who are having high hopes please note.”

The actress went further: “‘Pathan’ sirf ek film ho sakti hai a goonjega toh yahan sirf Jai Shri Ram..I do believe Indian Muslims are patriotic and very different from Afghan Pathans the crux is India will never be Afghanistan, we all know what is happening in Afghanistan, it’s beyond hell there, so an apt name for the movie Pathan according to its storyline is the Indian Pathan.”

‘Pathaan’ presents the story of an Indian spy who can get into any system or circle given his stealth and chameleon abilities to merge with the world that he resides in. The film is the first of SRK’s three films after a hiatus of over four years for the actor.
