Actress Kangana Ranaut is known for not mincing mincing her words and wearing her heart on her sleeve. The diva took to her social media recently, and alleged that Filmfare awards nominated her, despite promising her an award in the particular category over “many phone calls”.
In a lengthy statement on its official Instagram, Filmfare awards have categorically dismissed Kangana’s allegation as “patently false accusation” and claimed that they only contacted the actress to inform her about her nomination in the Best Actor in a Leading Role, Female category and ask for her “address to send across the invitation” of the awards ceremony, which will take place at Jio World Convention Centre at BKC, Mumbai, on August 30.
“Given the irresponsible remarks made by Ms. Ranaut about Filmfare Awards, we are withdrawing her Best Actress nomination for the movie Thalaivii. We reserve all rights to pursue any legal action against her malicious and defamatory statements tarnishing our reputation and goodwill,” read the Filmfare’s statement.
Now, Kangana has once again launched an attack on the awards in question and said that she has decided to sue them. Reacting to the statement from the Filmfare, Kangana wrote, “@filmfare has finally withdrew my best actress nominations, thanks to everyone who supported me in this fight against corrupt system but this doesn’t stop me from taking legal action against them… my endeavour is to put an end to these unethical practices and stop such malicious award shows…see you in court @filmfare.”
On the work front, the actress is gearing up for the political drama Emergency. Apart from this, she has Tejas in her pipeline. She is also working on her maiden production venture Tiku weds Sheru.
