Manikarnika was directed by Krish before Kangana Ranaut took his directorial post. Ranaut starrer 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, which made his first film as a director.
Speaking to SpotboyE, Krish is open 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 adds:" In the second part, she even shot again some scenes that I had done in a different way. But it's okay now. The film is brilliant. I'm glad she did not mess it up too much.
Krish testified 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 asked about Sonu Sood, who also left the film due to disagreements with Kangana, Krish said: "She (Kangana) said that Sonu was not held 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 receive a director's orders and therefore left the position for false reasons. "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 want, "he added.
