Filmmaker Ketan Mehta, who had accused Kangana Ranaut for hijacking his dream project on freedom fighter Rani Laxmibai, says, he has "no curiosity" to watch the actor's version of the subject - "Manikarnika the Queen of Jhansi".
Mehta and Kangana were supposed to team up for "Rani of Jhansi: The Warrior Queen". But she announced another film titled "Manikarnika the Queen of Jhansi" with south director Krish.
When asked if he will be watching "Manikarnika..", Mehta told PTI, "There is no curiosity."
"I don't know (about revisiting it). It has been a dream for a long, long time. I worked very hard. (But) Some experiences were rough."
He said, "The world is shrinking, the European countries are seeing India as tourism bonanza and they are seeing Indian film industry as a vibrant industry. This kind of interaction is fruitful, beneficial and necessary to both the parties."
"OTT platforms are changing the rules of the game completely. It is creating access, which was not there earlier."
