Actor Kangana Ranaut took to her Instagram Stories recently and shared an article that quotes her as the “box office queen of India”. The story comes days after the release of her film ‘Dhakaad’, which failed at the box office. She wrote, “2019 I gave Manikarnika 160 cr ka superhit, 2020 was a covid year. 2021 I gave the biggest film of my career ‘Thalaivii’ which came on OTT and was a huge success.”
She added, “I see a lot of negativity but 2020 is the year of blockbuster - lock up hosting. And it’s not over yet…I have great hopes with it.” Directed by Razneesh Ghai, 'Dhaakad' opened up to a poor start at the box office with less than £100,000 on its first day. Later trade sources suggested that the film was taken down by distributors due to" extremely low audience turnout”.
‘Dhaakad’ also stars Arjun Rampal and Divya Dutta. Defending people who were previously seen ‘celebrating’ the failure of Kangana’s film, Richa Chadha had tweeted, “Aligning with power is easy and has obvious rewards like tax exemptions, awards, special status, security-even literally the Legislature promoting a film! So do you not know that the reverse also holds true Tehseen? People are expressing dissent in whatever way they can. So chill.” The tweet was in response to ‘Bigg Boss’ contestant Tehseen Poonawalla who had criticized people celebrating ‘Dhaakad’s performance.
On the work front, Kangana will be next seen in the political drama ‘Emergency’. She also has ‘Tejas’ where she will be playing an Air Force pilot. The actress had also announced ‘Manikarnika Returns: The legend of Didda’ and ‘Sita: The Incarnation’ as her upcoming projects. Kangana has also wrapped up the filming of her production, ‘Tiku Weds Sheru’.
