You may recall, Sonu Sood left the film mid-way and was replaced by Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub. He slammed Kangana for cutting down his character in the film. Later, another actress Mishti Chakravarty also slammed Kangana for a similar reason, as she spoke to SpotboyE.com exclusively. Writer Apurva Asrani who says he had experienced a similar situation on their film Simran, also tweeted about Kangana being a repeat offender. And finally director Krish, alleged that Manikarnika was snatched from his hands by Kangana, who took over directing duties after he had submitted his cut of the film. He has denied Kangana’s claims of having directed 70% of the final film by herself.
Answering all these accusations, Kangana said, "It is wrong of Krish to attack me like that. If he is right, then he can go ahead and prove it. Talking to the media won’t help him. Manikarnika is out and fortunately or unfortunately, I have directed the film. The film is out there and nothing can be done about it. To all those people who are saying that my role has been cut or I have edited a scene, I would like to say that whatever place I have achieved, whether as an actor or 3 times National award winner or filmmaker, I have got it myself and my father hasn’t given it to me. Get this position on your own and by crying, it won’t help anyone.” Check out the videos:
