Kangana Ranaut reacts to reports of Brahmastra box office figures being ‘manipulated’!
Kangana Ranaut has responded to allegations that the box office results for Brahmastra were heavily skewed. On Sunday, the actor responded to one such tweet on Instagram Stories. According to co-producer Karan Johar, Brahmastra debuted with a worldwide gross of 75 crore.
Kangana shared filmmaker-writer Eray Mridula Cather’s tweet about the ‘manipulated figures’ of Brahmastra. He wrote, “So, few trade analysts are not giving #Brahmastra BO figures, as they’re completely manipulated. The ones who’re going gaga with fake BO figures are heftily paid. This manipulation is possibly India’s biggest so far, over 60-70percent fake figures. It’s not just ego, it’s coke-ego!” Reacting to it on her Instagram Stories, Kangana wrote, “Wow, that’s a new low… 70 percent.”
The long-awaited film Brahmastra, directed by Ayan Mukerji, was finally shown in theatres on Friday. Along with Amitabh Bachchan, Mouni Roy, Nagarjuna, Ranbir Kapoor, and Alia Bhatt, it also has cameo appearances by Shah Rukh Khan and a few more prominent Bollywood actors.
According to Boxofficeindia.com, Brahmastra made a total of 76 crore at the domestic box office in just two days after debuting in India at a cost of 37 crore. Additionally, it projected weekend revenue of $9–10 million.
On the day of the Brahmastra’s release, Kangana took a harsh stance against everyone connected to the movie.
Reacting to some bad reviews of the film, she said, “This is what happens when you try to sell a lie, @karanjohar in every show forces people to call @aliabhatt and Ranbir best actors and @ayan_mukerji a genius…slowly he started to believe this lie…what else explains the 600 crore budget of this film to a director who never made a good enough film in his life…Fox studio in India had to sell itself to fund this film…How many more studios will be closed because of this clowns?”
“Everyone who called @ayan_mukerji a genius should be jailed immediately,” she added.
