Kangana Ranaut Claims Karan Johar Declared Sushant Singh Rajput A 'Flop' Actor; Questions, 'Why Karan Didn't Have A Buyer For Drive After SSR's Hit Like Dhoni?'
In an interview with Arnab Goswami on Republic TV, Kangana Ranaut spoke about Sushant Singh Rajput's film Drive that was produced by Karan Johar and questions how a big name like Karan could not get a buyer for Drive?
Kangana quoted, "Sushant was very much okay to go ahead on his own and do his work. After a few years of struggle, he gave a hit film called 'Dhoni'. Now Aditya Chopra doesn't work with him but his best friend, his childhood friend Karan Johar comes into the picture. Very strategically, he hires him and shoots for this film for three years, and then he declares to the world that he is such a flop star, I can't sell the film to exhibitors. I, belonging to this film industry for the last 14-15 years, and I have started my small studio and I have also directed a film, delivered a film, released a film. I want to know in which circumstances, after a blockbuster delivery of 'Dhoni', Karan Johar doesn't have a buyer for a film called Drive? How does that work?
Kangana blamed Karan Johar for spreading the news about Sushant being a flop actor and mentioned that Drive never released in theatres. Here's her video.
