Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap and actress Kangana Ranaut seem to have gone from friends to foe. Their recent interactions on Twitter have been quite brutal. She starred in Phantom Films’ Queen which was co-produced by Kashyap and went onto become a blockbuster. Since then, they have allegedly had a fallout. In recent times, the actress has claimed that 99 % of the film industry consumes drugs after Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) started investigating the drug angle in Sushant Singh Rajput’s death case and arrested Rhea Chakraborty among others.
Speaking to journalist Faye D’Souza a few days before, Anurag Kashyap said, “I've seen her do things when she was low on confidence. And, I've seen it with my own eyes... When she got out of it; I have not stayed in touch, she reinvented herself after that. But, she can't say that somebody forced it on... I don't know what happened before but when I have seen all those elements, I've not seen anybody force, anybody, on, anything on her, anybody."
"People make their own choices. People make choices in their down moments. People don't know. Yes, one thing is there that when you go around in this industry and you meet somebody. The first time, when I did something, she said, 'This will make you feel good.' But, if somebody says that it will make you feel good you've tried it. After that, it's your own choice,” he said.
A day ago, Anurag Kashyap made headlines when an actress named Payal Ghosh accused him of sexual assault. The filmmaker has denied all these allegations.
