Simran Controversy PART 2: Friends Of Kangana Ranaut & Hansal Mehta Speak Out
While Apurva Asrani may have given his own side of the story, SpotboyE.com reached out to people close to the other party- Kangana Ranaut & Hansal Mehta to get their side of the story...
This afternoon we
told you how Simran’s editor and Hansal Mehta’s long term partner Apurva Asrani
confirmed to SpotboyE.com about being terminated from his services as an Editor
of the film (Simran). He also indirectly blamed Kangana for his ouster saying,
“samajhne wale samajh jaayenge ki maine project kyun choda.”
After Mumbai
Mirror reported about the further development, a friend of Hansal Mehta called
us to say that it’s only Apurva Asrani’s version which is doing the rounds. It
is sad that neither Hansal nor Kangana have been contacted. The friend on
request of anonymity went on to reveal a few details which hint that Apurva
Asrani is an insecure person.
We also learnt
that Apurva Asrani played a similar game when Hansal helmed Manoj Bajpayee
starrer- Aligarh. Recalling the entire episode which unfolded that time, the
source elaborated, “Ishani Banerjee had written Aligarh, and min you she did a
beautiful job. At that instance, Apurva demanded from Hansal that Ishani should
be sacked. He made it so unpleasant that Ishani chose to bow down and exited
without creating any drama,”
We also spoke to
Ishani to get her perspective and she said, “Look, Hansal Mehta and Apurva
Asrani are my seniors. For me, Aligarh was a smooth process. I cannot elaborate
anything more. I hope you understand.”

“Hansal Mehta was
jolted after this incidence. In fact, employees in his office still talk about
what Apurva did to Ishaani. And now with this recent development, his office is
abuzz again with talks that Apurva had the cheek to tell Hansal that now he
wanted Kangana also out,” added the source.
Another friend who
is close to Kangana Ranaut, stated that it’s Kangana who originally sketched
out the script. “Kangana was supposed to do Sarbjit with Hansal which was later
directed by Omung Kumar. Hansal and Kangana continued to discuss ideas and then
zeroed down on Simran,” said Kangana’s friend.
The source then
continued to reveal details about Kangana and Apurva’s reading sessions,
“Apurva and Kangana often sat down to flesh out the script which Kangana had
penned rather clearly. Apurva used to go to Kangana’s house where she used to
verbally dictate scenes to him and he used to write it down in the format of a
script.”
“As Kangana was so
involved in the writing sessions, Hansal tried explaining it to Apurva that
therefore Kangana’s name as a co-writer is justified. However, Apurva had the
audacity to tell Kangana that she should ask Hansal to withdraw her name from
the credits,” concluded the source.
Matters reached
the end when Apurva didn’t attend a few edit meets. Now we hear, a new Editor
named Charu has come on board to edit Simran. Charu begins her work today.
