Kangana Ranaut defends SS Rajamouli
Taking to Twitter, the Bollywood diva came to the RRR director’s defense after he was dubbed controversial for making the epic action film. “World has stamped controversial on him for what? What controversy he did? He made a film called Bahubali to glorify our lost civilisation, or he made nationalistic RRR? Or he wore dhoti to international red carpets? What controversy he did? Please tell me,” she expressed.
Singing praises for the renowned filmmaker, Kangana further added, “I know what controversy he did he loves this country and took regional cinema to the world, he is devotional/dedicated to the nation, that’s his fault so they call him controversial but how dare this nation questions Shri Rajamouli ji’s integrity as an individual, shame on you all.”
For the unversed, a well-known media outlet dubbed SS Rajamouli a controversial director based on his Oscar nominated film RRR, which has drawn flak for being nationalistic and misrepresenting facts about the freedom fighters.
