Kangana Ranaut calls the film industry ‘crass and crude’: ‘Exposes their lowly standards… deprived lives’

“Primitively art blossomed in temples and reached literature/theatres and eventually inside cinemas. It is an industry but not designed for major economic gains like other billion/trillion dollar businesses, that’s why art/artists are worshipped not industrialists or billionaires,” she added in another tweet. Kangana added, “So even if artists indulge in polluting the very fibre of art and culture in the nation they must do it discreetly not shamelessly…”

Film industry is so crass and crude that whenever they want to project success of any endeavour/creation/art they throw flashing currency digits in your face, as if art has no other purpose..
it exposes their lowly standards and the kind of deprived lives they live ..

She also shared a photo of her sitting atop a huge rock, as she wished fans ‘Happy Himachal statehood day.’

Later in the day, Kangana took to Twitter again and spoke about how the film “industry got obsessed with money.” In a Twitter thread, Kangana spoke about how the trend of entering the 100 crore club is “toxic.”

Let’s track back when and how industry got obsessed with money. We don’t know how much money any of great classics Pyaasa/Guide/Shri 420 made. Growing up I never saw films that i liked DDLJ or HPHK had digits slapped on them after the weekend, I did Gangster i was told (cont)

It’s a hit no one told me digits, I didn’t know how much Fashion or OUTIM made I just knew they are huge hits also because where there are digits there are also toxic comparisons. Somewhere from 2012-13 I started to hear 100cr a lot and when Queen did 85cr in India (cont)

I remember thinking why not 100cr though Queen became a modern classic but that wasn’t enough that’s how system corrupts you, with time this trend became so toxic that now big studios pay business websites to write fake digits, spend crores and buy their own tickets (cont)

So this digit drama has started only a decade ago, just how no individual should flash how much money they have/they made, no tackiness when it comes to films as well please.
You made money good for you,now work on your next project
Even if you didn’t continue working please 🙏

After her account got suspended in 2021, Kangana Ranaut got back on Twitter on Tuesday. At the time, Kangana’s tweets sparked outrage and the company released a statement saying that the account was being “permanently suspended for repeated violation of Twitter rules”. As Kangana’s account was reinstated weeks after Elon Musk took over the company, she tweeted, “Hello everyone, it’s nice to be back here 🙂.”

Minutes after her account was reinstated, the actor shared the making video of her upcoming film Emergency. She shared that the shooting of the film was now complete. The actor-filmmaker captioned the BTS video, “And it’s a wrap !!! Emergency filming completed successfully… see you in cinemas on 20th October 2023 … 20-10-2023 🚩.”

Kangana Ranaut is playing the role of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in Emergency. Her directorial venture also stars Anupam Kher, Shreyas Talpade, Mahima Chaudhary, Milind Soman, among others. Based on the events of Emergency imposed in India in 1975, the film releases on October 20.
