Recently, Kangana Ranaut lashed out at the entire Bollywood fraternity for the visible lack of support she received post Manikarnika’s release. She slammed the likes of Aamir Khan and Alia Bhatt for not showing up for Manikarnika’s screening, even though she had extended them similar courtesies earlier. Alia even mentioned in an interview how she would call Kangana to apologise personally, but Kangana called her “Karan Johar’s puppet”. Needless to say, things steadily escalated.
However, Tanushree Dutta, who kickstarted the #metoo moment in Bollywood last year, has lent her support for Kangana as well as her recent film. According to a Hindustan Times report, Tanushree admitted that even though she hasn’t personally seen the film about Rani Laxmibai yet, but her parents had and were mighty impressed with Kangana’s performance.

Tanushree called Kangana an A++ actress, “Kangana Ranaut is a bonafide A++ list actress.Why the extra plus because she is the only one who made it to the top of her game in Bollywood without the nagging support and recommendation of A- list male stars, without a high profile surname or an unrealistically perfect, pure and pious facade that most Bollywood actresses seem to wear on and off screen.”
She also threw shade at the insiders who generally shun outsiders, “Kangana they don’t support you because they are intimidated by your talent, they hate your guts and their brawny thick muscle brains cant seem to figure out for the love of sweet Jesus how on earth you made it this far without them! They think they are Gods and it’s blasphemy to acknowledge that you shouldered a multi-million dollar film on your own.With Manikarnika’s success you have hit them on their softest spot and it will take them some time to recover.They will come around eventually…they have to or else they run the risk of being irrelevant.”

According to several reports, the budget of Manikarnika had shot up to an estimated Rs. 125 crore. It recently broke even and has earned Rs. 133 crores (approx) so far.
