“I’m sorry to say, but Karan sir should do a movie with me. I’ll give him a very good role, and I’ll make a very good film. It won’t be a typical mother-in-law versus daughter-in-law drama, nor just a PR exercise. It will be a proper film, with a meaningful role for him,” she said.
In addition to this offer, Kangana recently addressed the changes made to her film ‘Emergency’ by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). The film, which explores the turbulent period of the Emergency in 1970s India, underwent some cuts as per the CBFC’s mandate.
While Kangana admitted that, as a director, she would have preferred the film to remain in its original form, she respected the Board’s decision.
Speaking to IANS, she explained, “I would have liked the full version to released, but with the cuts, there is no issue. The film was never meant to mock anyone. The cuts mostly removed certain historical episodes, but it doesn’t affect the overall story. The core message of the film, which is patriotism, remains intact.”
