Salman Khan most misunderstood by Bollywood, want to direct him in film with Shah Rukh, Aamir: Kangana Ranaut

Though Kangana doesn’t mind directing the three Khans, she claimed to be a forever fan of Irrfan Khan and expressed regret at not being able to direct him. “One actor that I regret not being able to direct is Irrfan Khan. He is one of my favourite Khans and I will always miss him,” she said,

Talking about Salman Khan and how he is misunderstood by people in the film industry, she said, “Salman Khan has a massive fan following; people love him so much. He is the most loved star in the country. Those who compete with him and people in the film industry are the only ones who have misunderstood him, and that is because they are jealous of him and want to be in his position,” she explained.

The Queen actor further discussed how she, too, has faced hate from certain industry insiders but chooses to focus on the overwhelming support she receives from her fans. “I get so much love from everywhere. People from the Opposition love me so much. They make me sit on their tables and don’t let me go. They says, ‘You are our heroine too. We have seen your films.’ They talk to me about my films. It surprises me. Obviously, I won’t be liked by people of the film industry because they would want people from their gang and their families to be in this position. I won’t acknowledge them. If 90 percent people love me, why will I look at the rest 10 percent,” she said.

Emergency is based on the life of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Besides playing the lead role, Kangana has also directed and co-produced the film. The movie is set to release in theatres on September 6.
