Filmmaker Hansal Mehta and actor Kangana Ranaut worked together in the former’s film Simran but their fallout, which happened while they were making the movie, affected the film badly. The film was critically panned and did not impress the audience. Hansal has now revisited the making of Simran and admitted that working with Kangana was a “massive mistake. Though, he reaffirmed that she is a good actor, he also insisted that they did not gel with each other.
Hansal said that Kangana is a “very talented actor” who has limited herself by choosing a very particular kind of role. He said, “She is a very talented actor, she is a very good actor, really really good actor who, I feel has limited herself by making films about herself. You need not make all the characters become what you want to believe you are. ”
The Shahid director then spoke about Kangana’s recent song from Dhaakad titled “She’s on Fire” and said, “Abhi kuch gaana aaya uska… (She had a song recently…) she is a woman on fire… you are basically talking about yourself. You know these are things you aspire for yourself, you put it there. It’s not even my place to criticise what choices she makes. She’s a big star, even today and she is a very good actor, I maintain that and working with her, we didn’t gel. Working with her was a massive mistake.”
Hansal and Kangana had a public fallout when Simran released in 2017. The two have never collaborated with each other since then.
