And the feisty actress shot back at the YRF scion
If you know your Bollywood gup well, you'll know that Kangana Ranaut is one who speaks her mind - to hell with consequences! With an all-journos-are-my-buddies' attitude, the actress is happy to tell them about the films she is doing (and more importantly, the films she's not doing).
Recently, she explained why she declined the heroine's role in Ali Abbas Zafar's much-delayed Sultan. In the brief interview with a leading newspaper, Kangana said, "Sultan's dates are clashing with Rangoon and I'm already committed to Rangoon."
That statement was enough to leave Yash Raj Films' head honcho Aditya Chopra fuming.
Come to think of it, it does reflect badly on YRF. After all, can't a top studio woo a leading lady for a big-scale production with Salman Khan?
What's worse, Kangana didn't stop there. She reportedly leaked details of the role too.
What did Adi do when he heard this? Simple, he picked up the phone on Kangana and gave her a piece of his mind. Predictably, a heated argument followed.
Said a source, "Adi said that it was highly unprofessional of her to give such statements out, especially about a film she isn't doing. And he asked her how the details of the role came out."
And you won't believe Kangana's reply to the head honcho! The actress, who is riding high on Tanu Weds Manu Returns' success, is believed to have said, "I'm answerable to my fans who want to know everything about me."
Understandably, Mr. Chopra was too stunned to reply.Clearly, Kangana, as much as we'd love to see you in a YRF film, it's not gonna happen anytime soon!
