Filmmaker Sanjay Gupta recently praised Kangana Ranaut's film Emergency, admitting that he had initially prejudged the film and was ultimately glad that Kangana proved him wrong. In a recent interaction, Kangana responded to Sanjay's tweet, advising film industry members not to hold preconceived notions against her. She shared that while many expected her to make a propaganda film, she had defied their expectations. Speaking on India TV about Sanjay's remarks, Kangana said, "He had accepted in the post that he had preconceived notions. Why are you trying to understand me when you are failing at it? And he is also accepting that he failed. To keep these negative preconceived notions about anyone, thinking only negative about me, and trying and wishing that she would fail.how do you know what would I have done? Do you have the intellect needed to understand me? When you take a bird's view of a person, you need to have an expanded vision of that object or subject. How can you have an expanded vision of my intellect? What are your credentials? What kind of films do you make?" She added, "I want people of the film industry, considering the kind of films that they make, they shouldn't have any preconceived notion about me. If they don't talk like 'we know what she can do and what are her limits' than they don't have to face so much insult." Earlier, Sanjay Gupta had taken to social media to commend Kangana’s work. He wrote, "Today I watched EMERGENCY by @KanganaTeam. Very frankly, I wasn't planning to, as I had prejudged it. I am so glad that I was wrong. What a fantastic film by Kangana—both performance and direction. Top Notch & World Class." Today I watched EMERGENCY by @KanganaTeam Very frankly I wasn't planning to as I had prejudged it.

She had written, "The film industry must come out of its hate and prejudices and acknowledge good work. Thanks for breaking that barrier, Sanjay ji—the barrier of preconceived notions. My message to all filmi intellectuals—never keep any notions about me. Mujhe samajhne ki koshish bhi mat karna, main pahunch se bahar hoon (Don't try to figure me out, I am out of your reach)."
