Krish should not attack me: Kangana Ranaut on row over 'Manikarnika'

Kangana Ranaut has criticised director Krishna Jagarlamudi, asking him to prove his claim that she did not shoot a significant portion of the film "Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi".

The director, popularly known as Krish, has said that he had almost completed the film and only patchwork was left when Kangana became involved and wrongly claimed the credit as the main director. He also accused the actor of "hijacking" the period drama.

Talking to reporters at airport here on Friday, Kangana said Krish should take up his grievances with the producers of the film.

"It's not like that. He has been given the credit in the film and about his name, that he should talk to the producer and not attack me," the actor said.

When asked about Krish claiming that she has not shot 70 percent of the film, she said, "That's wrong. If he can, he should prove it."
"The film has been made and, fortunately or unfortunately, I have directed it. I have taken all the final decisions. I want to make it clear that this film has been released in theatres and now nothing can happen."
Kangana vowed that she will once again direct a film, which she said "will be better than 'Manikarnika...'."
"I have a suggestion for Krish. Take all these people and make a film. Take Sonu Sood as a villain and take her (Mishti) as the heroine and make Apurva Asrani write the story and make a film to teach me a lesson."
