Kangana Ranaut slams reports about Brahmastra’s box office success; brutally trolls Karan Johar

Karan Johar recently faced the wrath of Kangana Ranaut yet again, this time in the name of Brahmastra. The Ayan Mukerji directorial is witnessing a stellar run at the box office of late, and the director recently shared that the film had grossed more than Rs 300 crores in terms of worldwide box office earnings. Many reports spoke of how Brahmastra had overtaken Vivek Agnihotri’s The Kashmir Files to become the highest grossing Bollywood film of the year. But it seems that Kangana begs to differ. The actress recently took to her social media to slam reports about Brahmastra’s box office success, trolling the film’s producer Karan in the process as well.

Taking to her Instagram stories, Kangana shared a report which stated that Brahmastra had entered the Rs 200 crore club. The article mentioned the ‘post pandemic verdict model’ of measuring a film’s box office success. Mocking the same, Kangana said that the model seemed to be one invented specially for Karan’s films, which made sure that none of his films failed at the box office.

In subsequent stories, the actress referenced Agnihotri’s tweet mocking a report of Brahmastra overtaking The Kashmir Files earnings. The Kashmir Files had previously held the title of the highest grossing Hindi film of the year. She called out attempts to allegedly ‘belittle’ the film, and wrote “Karan Johar ji aap kya cheez ho yaar”.

She also claimed that Karan had paid off people to give positive reports about Brahmastra’s success as well.

Meanwhile, a sequel to Brahmastra is currently in development as well, which will be titled Brahmastra Part 2. Brahmāstra: Part One – Shiva was released in theatres on September 9. Ranbir Kapoor, Mouni Roy, Alia Bhatt, Nagarjuna Akkineni and Amitabh Bachchan star in the fantasy adventure. The film also featured a cameo appearance by Shah Rukh Khan.
