Kangana Ranaut’s interest is in acting as well as in the field of direction. She is involved in every major decision related to her film. Director Hansal Mehta worked with Kangana in the film ‘Simran’. The film was a flop at the box office. ‘Simran’ was released in 2017. Hansal Mehta said about working with Kangana that it was his biggest mistake. Also he admitted that Kangana is still a big star. Earlier, ‘Simran’ writer Apoorva Asrani had claimed that Kangana had taken over the director’s post after Hansal left the project.
The story of the film ‘Simran’ is based on the real life of Sandeep Kaur, who robbed the banks after losing money in gambling. In an interview with Mashable India, Hansal was asked if Kangana took over the editing of ‘Simran’, the director said, “She did not take over the edit.” But there was nothing to do edit takeover as the material was what he got shot for. She is a talented actress. She is a good actress, actually a very good actress. I think he has limited himself by making films about himself. You don’t have to make all the characters as you want to be who you are.
On She’s On Fire, the tight track She’s On Fire from Kangana’s film ‘Dhaakad’, Hansal Mehta said, ‘Abhi kuch song aaya hai her, she is a fire woman… you are basically talking about yourself. You know these are things you want for yourself. You keep it there. There is no room for me even to criticize the choices she makes. She is a big star, even today she is a very good actress. I maintain it. Working with him was a big mistake.
Hansal Mehta is known for films ‘Shahid’ and ‘City Lights’. Apart from this, his web series ‘Scam 1992’ was highly appreciated.
