Hansal Mehta refutes rumours of Kangana Ranaut editing Simran

TIL Desk Bollywood/ Director Hansal Mehta has said it angered him to see his “valued friend, actor, collaborator” Kangana Ranaut’s name being dragged into every gossip. Mehta was reacting to a tabloid report that claimed the actress was unhappy with the way the first trailer of their film Simran and decided to take over the editing.

“All this speculation is false, malicious and totally fabricated. I collaborate closely with my team and my actors are an integral part of that collaboration. It angers me that every time some malicious gossip has to be spread, people meaninglessly drag Kangana into their stupid machinations.

She is a valued friend, actor and collaborator. Period,” Mehta said in a statement.  The report also claimed that Mehta believed director Vishal Bhardwaj should have listened to Kangana’s advice during the editing of Rangoon. Mehta, however, said it was malicious to bring Bhardwaj’s name into the gossip as he shared a close friendship with the director.
