Kangana Ranaut won’t work with Sandeep Reddy Vanga: ‘Your alpha male heroes will become feminist’

Actor Kangana Ranaut has expressed her reluctance to accept roles in Sandeep Reddy Vanga's films, following his recent statement expressing openness to collaborating with her.

Kangana had previously criticized Vanga's film ‘Animal,’ starring Ranbir Kapoor. Despite this critique, Vanga stated that he doesn't mind her remarks. In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Vanga commended Kangana and her contributions to the industry.

Kangana responds to Vanga

Responding to Sandeep's words, Kangana tweeted, ‘Review and criticism are not the same, every kind of art should be reviewed and discussed, it is a normal thing. The way Sandeep ji showed respect towards me by smiling at my review, it can be said that he not only makes manly films, his attitude is also manly, thank you sir.’

She added, ‘But please don't ever give me any role otherwise your alpha male heroes will become feminist and then your films will also be beaten, you make blockbusters, the film industry needs you.’

Vanga praises Kangana

In an interview, Sandeep praised Kangana and said, ‘If I get a chance and if I feel she will fit into it, I will go and narrate the story. I genuinely loved her performance in Queen and so many other films. So if she is giving a negative comment about Animal, I don't mind. I don't get angry also cause I have seen her work… I don't feel bad.’

Earlier, Kangana reviewed ‘Animal’ and criticised the Ranbir Kapoor starrer in a post on X.

Reposting a fan’s tweet, she said, ‘Paid negativity for my films is overwhelming, I have been fighting hard so far but even audiences are encouraging women beating films where they are treated like sex objects and asked to lick shoes. This is deeply discouraging for someone who has been dedicating her life for woman empowerment films, might shift career in coming years, want to give best years of my life to something worthwhile.’

Her post was also regarding the performance of her film ‘Tejas’, which tanked at the box office and also received mixed reviews from critics.
