Kangana Ranaut Reacts To Claims She Injured Vir Das During Kissing Scene Random
Indian Express
Actor-comedian Vir Das has put out a firm, public denial on Saturday, after a years-old rumour about his time filming Revolver Rani with Kangana Ranaut made an unexpected comeback online this week.
It was sparked by a podcast appearance from a journalist who claimed the comedian was hurt during one of their kissing scenes.
“Right. Just so we are clear. This story is pure fiction. Kangana was a complete professional and I still maintain, a truly gifted artist. This is unfair slander to her. She went on to call me a terrorist a few years later for my comedy, but on set, no problems at all,” Das wrote on X.
The clash between Vir Das and Kangana Ranaut dates back to 2021, when his comedy special “I Come From Two Indias,” recorded during a performance at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC, sparked a wave of backlash in India over his commentary on issues including sexual violence, the farmer protests and the country’s handling of the pandemic.
Revolver Rani, directed by Sai Kabir and presented by Wave Cinemas, released in April 2014 and starred Kangana Ranaut as a brash political strongwoman opposite Vir Das as a Bollywood actor caught up in her orbit, with Piyush Mishra and Zakir Hussain in supporting roles.
