Yesterday, we told you about senior journalists meeting up in Andheri to vent their angst against Kangana Ranaut’s flare-up with a journalist during the song launch of Judgementall Hai Kya in Mumbai. For the uninitiated, the meeting was arranged after Kangana Ranaut accused a PTI journalist Justin Rao of bashing her film and running a smear campaign against her, harming her brand. The incident happened at the launch of the first song Wakhra Swag from her upcoming flick Judgementall Hai Kya, produced by Ekta Kapoor.
And just minutes ago, Balaji Telefilms has issued a statement. This statement that we are reproducing below, has been picked up from the Entertainment Journalists' Guild of India, a group, of which some key members met Ekta Kapoor, last night.
Official Statement from Balaji Telefilms:
Official Statement from Balaji Telefilms:
To whomsoever it may concern:
A lot is being reported about the debate that ensued between our film JudgeMentall Hai Kya's actor and journalist Justin Rao, at the film’s song launch event on July 7th, 2019. Unfortunately, the event took an unpleasant turn.
While the people involved in it fairly held their own perspectives but because it happened at the event of our film, we, as the producers, would like to apologize and express regret for this untoward incident.
We would like to maintain that our intention was not to disrespect or hurt anyone's sentiments.
Our film JudgeMentall Hai Kya releases on July 26th and we urge the media to not let this one incident hamper the team effort that has gone behind making the film.
