Kangana Ranaut is once again making headlines with a cryptic Instagram post that many believe is aimed at Alia Bhatt’s latest release, Jigra. The film, which hit theaters on October 11, saw a slow start at the box office, reportedly earning around Rs 3.58 crore (net) across all languages in India on its first day.
Kangana’s latest post, seemingly referencing Jigra’s underwhelming performance, has sparked fresh conversations around the reception of women-centric films in Bollywood.
Without naming anyone directly, Kangana shared on her Instagram story, “When you destroy women-centric films and make sure that they don’t work, they don’t work, even when you make them. Read that again. Thanks.” While she did not explicitly mention Jigra or Alia Bhatt, the timing of the post has led fans and media alike to speculate that it’s a subtle jab at Alia’s latest film. The comment appears to critique the industry’s approach toward women-led films, hinting at deeper industry dynamics that may influence their success.
Whether Kangana’s recent remarks are aimed specifically at Alia Bhatt or reflect a broader criticism of Bollywood’s treatment of women-centric films remains unclear. However, her post has certainly reignited conversations as Jigra continues its box office journey. Fans and industry insiders alike are now closely watching how the film performs in the coming days, especially in light of the heightened buzz generated by Kangana’s comment.
