Filmmaker Sanjay Gupta recently admitted that he had initially judged Kangana Ranaut’s film Emergency without giving it a chance. However, after finally watching the film, he was blown away. Taking to social media, he shared, “Today I watched EMERGENCY by @KanganaTeam. Very frankly, I wasn’t planning to, as I had prejudged it. I am so glad that I was wrong. What a fantastic film by Kangana—both performance and direction. Top Notch & World Class.”
Kangana Responds Strongly
In response, Kangana thanked Sanjay for his honest words but used the opportunity to send a strong message to the film industry. Speaking on India TV, she said, “He accepted that he had preconceived notions. Why are you trying to understand me if you are failing at it? And he has admitted that he failed. If you only think negatively about someone and wish they fail, how do you know what I’m capable of? Do you even have the intellect to understand me?”
‘Don’t Hold Prejudices Against Me’ After Sanjay Gupta Praises Emergency
Kangana further questioned the industry’s tendency to limit her. “If you want to judge me, you need to have a broader vision. What are your credentials? What kind of films do you make?” she asked. She added, “The film industry, considering the kind of films they make, shouldn’t have any preconceived notions about me. If they stop saying ‘we know her limits,’ they wouldn’t face so much embarrassment.”
Kangana’s Final Message
Earlier, responding to Sanjay Gupta’s post, Kangana wrote, “The film industry must come out of its hate and prejudices and acknowledge good work. Thanks for breaking that barrier, Sanjay ji. My message to all filmi intellectuals—never keep any notions about me. Mujhe samajhne ki koshish bhi mat karna, main pahunch se bahar hoon (Don’t try to figure me out, I am out of your reach).”
