Taking to her Instagram Stories on Saturday, Kangana shared a screenshot of AR Rahman from the BBC Asian Network interview<\/a> and wrote in the caption, \u201cDear @arrahman ji, I face so much prejudice and partiality in the film industry because I support a saffron party yet I must say I have not come across a man more prejudiced and hateful than you.\u201d<\/p>\n

‘I was told you don’t want to be part of a propaganda film’<\/p>\n

She added, \u201cI desperately wanted to narrate my directorial Emergency to you. Forget narration, you even refused to meet me. I was told you don’t want to be part of a propaganda film. Ironically, Emergency was called a masterpiece by all critics. Even opposition party leaders sent me fan leaders appreciating the film for its balanced and compassionate approach but you are blinded by your hate. I feel sorry for you #emergency.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the controversy began when AR Rehman commented on the 2025 release, Chhaava. He said, \u201cIt is a divisive film. I think it cashed in on divisiveness, but I think the core of it is to show bravery.”<\/p>\n
