Hansal Mehta responds to Kangana Ranaut's fan after 'flop film' jibe, pokes fun at her film 'Dhaakad'

Filmmaker Hansal Mehta recently reviewed ‘Brahmastra’, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, on social media. Praising the Ayan Mukerji directorial, he talked about how he was unable to get tickets for night show. His tweet has seemingly irked a few Twitter users. One person accused him of giving Kangana Ranaut a ‘flop film’, following which he took a dig at the actor’s latest release ‘Dhaakad’. Re-sharing the tweet, he wrote, ‘Yeah. I shouldn’t have made Dhaakad.’

Earlier, in an interview with Mashable India in June, Hansal had talked about working with Kangana in ‘Simran’. He said, ’She did not take over the edit, to be fair to her, but there was nothing to take over in the edit. We only had the material that she had shot. She is a very talented actor, she is a very good actor, really really good actor who, I feel has limited herself by making films about herself. You need not make all the characters become what you want to believe you are.’

The ambitious spy-thriller ‘Dhaakad’, which released earlier this year, was directed by Razneesh Ghai. Made on a massive ₹85 crore budget, the film ended up being one of the biggest flops of Kangana’s career. According to reports, the film failed to touch even the ₹10-crore mark. Hansal Mehta’s ‘Simran’, in comparison, earned ₹28 crores when it released in 2017.
