While Kangana did not respond to the trolling, her sister Rangoli Chandel decided to take down the trolls on behalf of the actress.
“How else do you take close up on a galloping horse, this is called a machanical horse and used in movies like Gladiator, The last Samurai, Brave heart and Manikarnika … only for the close ups ….dumb people get excited to see technology… Dumbos !!!,” she wrote in response to a tweet.
