Kangana Ranaut reacts to Amitabh Bachchan's ‘Ganapath’ clashing with Emergency in October

Actor Kangana Ranaut has questioned the makers of ‘Ganapath’ for choosing the same release date as her political drama ‘Emergency’. Taking to Twitter, the actor has shared that she will now change the release date of her film and will announce it only a month before it hits the theatres.

Besides Tiger Shroff and Amitabh Bachchan's ‘Ganapath’, Bhushan Kumar's ‘Yaariyan 2’ also locked October 20 as their release date.

In a tweet, Kangana wrote, ‘When I was looking for a date for Emergency release I saw this year movie calendar is pretty much free, probably because of setbacks Hindi industry is having, based on my post production timelines I zeroed down on 20th October, with in a week T series owner Bhushan Kumar (cont).’

‘Announced his film on 20th October, entire October is free so is November, December and even September but today Mr Amitabh Bachchan and Tiger Shroff announced their ambitious project on 20th October, ha ha lagta hai panic meetings ho rahi hai Bollywood mafia gangs mein (seems like Bollywood mafia gangs are holding panic meetings),’ she continued in her next tweet.

She further added, ‘Now release date for Emergency I will announce only one month in advance with the trailer itself, jab sara saal free hai toh clash ki zarurat kyu hai bhai?? Yeh buri halat hai industry ki phir bhi itni durbuddhi, kya khate ho yaar tum sab, itne self destructive kaise ho (if the entire year is free then why bother to clash with each other. The industry is suffering so much yet such decisions, what do you eat for breakfast, how are you so self-destructive)?’

Kangana Ranaut announced her next directorial venture ‘Emergency’ in 2021. She will be playing the role of Indira Gandhi in the film. Besides Kangana, the film also stars Anupam Kher, Milind Soman, Mahima Chaudhry and Shreyas Talpade among others.

On the other hand, ‘Ganapath’ stars Tiger Shroff and Kriti Sanon. Amitabh Bachchan will make a special appearance in the Vikas Bahl directorial.
