Hansal Mehta pokes fun at Kangana Ranaut's Dhaakad when a supporter blames him for her film’s failure

After posting positive comments about Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor's film Brahmastra, Hansal Mehta offended a Kangana Ranaut fan.

Bollywood filmmaker Hansal Mehta has highly appreciated Brahmastra that stars Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt in leading roles, and has been directed by director Ayan Mukerji.

Meanwhile, one of Kangana Ranaut's fans was furious by his tweets of admiration for the star who had been tweeting against Brahmastra as well as accusing director Karan Johar of exaggerating movie ticket profits.

Simran a 2017 film starring Kangana, was directed by Hansal Mehta. Simran struggled to captivate the spectators. Consequently, when Hansal commended Brahmastra on Twitter, a user stated, “Shame on you. You gave flop film to Kangana.” Hansal reposted the remark and made a direct dig at Kangana's most recent film, Dhaakad, which did horribly at the cinema. The filmmakers commented, “Yeah. I shouldn’t have made Dhaakad.”

Check out the post:

Previously, Hansal tweeted that it was difficult for him to secure seats for Brahmastra because the theaters were nearly all sold out. He said, “I really enjoyed #Brahmastra. What I enjoyed even more is going to a cinema hall for a nearly 60-70% full morning show after failing to get tickets for last night’s shows. And long queues for the later shows at the same multiplex. The 2nd part is going to be HUGE.”

On the other hand, Dhaakad which came out in May of this year, had a 85 crore expenditure. The crime thriller, which was helmed by Razneesh Ghai, was among Kangana's worst financial failures.

On the work front, Hansal Mehta will direct Captain India featuring Kartik Aaryan. The filmmaker is also working on another film, Swagat Hain in which Rajkummar Rao will play a key role.

Meanwhile, Kangana Ranaut will play the lead role in Emergency: a biographical movie on the former Prime Minister of India, Indira Gandhi. The movie follows her career in politics as the former prime minister as well as shows how she had faced difficulties in the 1975 chain of events which completely changed India's history. The movie is scheduled to premiere in theaters in 2023.
