Kangana Ranaut, set to appear in the upcoming film ‘Emergency,’ has taken charge of the creative direction by directing the film herself. She expressed disappointment in the quality of Bollywood directors, stating she wouldn’t need to direct her films if there were competent filmmakers in the industry.
Kangana Ranaut specifically criticized prominent directors, describing their treatment of female characters as ‘atrocious.’ Expanding her critique beyond Bollywood, she also voiced dissatisfaction with the portrayal of female protagonists in South Indian films, emphasizing that she has no desire to be depicted in such a manner.
In an interview, the Queen of Bollywood said, “I am disappointed in the directors around us. We don’t have directors. If we had good directors, I didn’t have to do it. This is not to disrespect anyone, but in all honesty, if you think that there’s a dream director I want to work with, there’s nobody alive. And this has been my case for the past five years. And especially those who are making big films. The way they treat their women characters is atrocious to another level.”
She also said that there is not even a single director with whom she wants to work with.
