Krish, co-director of Manikarnika, about Kangana Ranaut: I'm glad she did not mess up the movie

Director Radha Krishna Jagarlamudi or Krish, as he is popularly known, revealed why he left Kangana Ranaut for St Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi in a recent interview with SpotboyE. The film, released Friday, was directed by Krish, but after the release of Sonu Sood's film and some disputes between Krish and Kangana, Ranaut took over the director's role, making it his first film.

Speaking to SpotboyE, Krish opened up about the controversy. When asked what proportion of his portions Kangana had cut into the film, he replied, "Hard to say. But I think Kangana has achieved 20-25% of the first half. I did not shoot a song and I did not shoot his entrance scene. "

He added: "In the second part, she even shot again some scenes that I had done differently. But it's okay now. The film is brilliant. I'm glad she did not mess it up too much. "

Krish said that Kangana told him that Zee Studios, the production company behind the film, did not like his cut. "Kangana even told me that Zee Studios did not like what I had made. It looked like a Bhojpuri movie. I laughed. People know my previous job. We talked but she wanted her own way. I just could not understand, "he said.

When told about Sonu Sood, who also left the film after disagreements with Kangana, Krish said, "She (Kangana) stated that Sonu did not have to play in the second half. But I put my foot down. Big arguments followed. Kamal Jain (one of the producers of the film) sided with Kangana. "

Krish also stated that Kangana's claim that Sonu Sood could not accept a director's orders and resigned for that reason was false. "And yes, I felt very badly when I read in Kangana newspapers saying that" Sonu could not get the orders of a director. "It was boring and bad. It's never happened, what she said was wrong, I do not blame Sonu for quitting, his running time was 100 minutes and he was cut to 60 minutes. Who will agree? No one would, "he added.
