"He is trying to find himself": Kangana Ranaut praises Anurag Kashyap

Kangana Ranaut lauds Anurag Kashyap, calling his experimental career a necessary journey to "find himself," signaling an end to their public feud.

"He's sort of trying to find himself, which is not a bad thing. - Kangana Ranaut"

Mumbai, April 16

Actor Kangana Ranaut and filmmaker Anurag Kashyap were once at loggerheads on social media platform X over their contrasting views on several issues.

And now it seems that Kangana has buried the hatchet, as she recently praised Anurag in an interview with ANI.

Lauding Kashyap for not being afraid to try different things in his career, in able to "find himself", Kangana said, "He's sort of trying to find himself, which is not a bad thing. He doesn't come across as somebody who knows what he's saying and what he's doing. He's also acting, he's also doing films, he's doing many things. And I think sometimes in life, this kind of journey is also necessary (to find yourself)."

"He edited my film, 'Queen'. So he was very appreciative of me. And I'm very appreciative of him as well.... I don't have anything harsh to think about him. I see he is acting, he is directing, he is refuelling himself. And I think he will be able to do it. That's a lovely way to say it," she added.

Kashyap was recently seen in a key role in 'Dacoit: A Love Story', which also stars Mrunal Thakur and Adivi Sesh.

The film follows the story of an angry convict who wants revenge on his ex-girlfriend who betrayed him. As he plans to trap her, the story turns into an emotional journey of love, betrayal, and revenge. Shot in both Hindi and Telugu, the film's story and screenplay have been written by Adivi Sesh and Shaneil Deo.

On the directorial front, Kashyap came up with 'Nishaanchi' last year. The film stars newcomer Aaishvary Thackeray in a dynamic double role as twin brothers Babloo and Dabloo, alongside Vedika Pinto, Monika Panwar, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, and Kumud Mishra.

Honestly, Kangana praising someone? That's the real news here! 😂 But seriously, Anurag Kashyap is a brilliant mind. 'Queen' was iconic, and his editing played a big part. Hope this means we might see them collaborate again.

Respectfully, I find Kangana's phrasing a bit patronizing. "Trying to find himself" for a veteran filmmaker like Kashyap? He's been making bold, experimental cinema for years. He knows exactly what he's doing. The praise feels a bit backhanded.

As someone who follows Indian cinema closely, I think this is a healthy sign. The industry needs more constructive dialogue and less toxic fan wars. Their work speaks for itself—'Queen' and 'Gangs of Wasseypur' are both modern classics.

Good move by Kangana. At the end of the day, talent should be acknowledged. Anurag sir is a gem for Indian parallel cinema. His role in 'Dacoit' was getting good reviews too. More power to artists supporting each other! ✨

Buried the hatchet? Let's see how long this lasts on Twitter... I mean X. But jokes aside, it's a positive step. The film industry runs on collaborations. Maybe this opens a door for something interesting in the future.
