The recent music release of the Ajay Devgn-Sanjay Dutt starrer comedy had all its stars in attendance, but actress Kangna Ranaut. However, it wasn’t another commitment that kept her from attending this event as most speculated, instead it has come to light that the actress was not invited to the event at all. In fact, an insider reveals that she will not even be a part of any of the film promotions either. This has led to speculation that it’s Ajay and Sanjay’s way of making it known that she is clearly not in their good books anymore.
Till now reports of Kangna being cold-shouldered by the two stars at several earlier occasions had been doing the rounds, however this time around the two apparently made no bones about hiding the fact that they don’t wish to associate with her at all. And what was being discussed in hushed whispers in the industry circles has finally come out in the open — that it’s war between Ajay-Sanjay and Kangna. Apparently it was Kangna’s flaunting of her connection with Ajay and Sanjay that not only angered the men themselves, but also earned the ire of their respective wives Kajol and Manyata. Insiders reveal thatit won’t be surprising to know that she won’t be a part of any of the actors’ future projects too.
The co-producer Sanjay Ahluwalia, however, has a different story to tell. According to sources, Kangna being ousted from the marketing of the film has nothing to do with her personal equation with the two actors. Apparently, it’s a professional call and the producers are miffed with Kangna after she tried to arm-twist them to hike her acting price as the film neared completion. “She left the dubbing mid-way and refused to co-operate unless her remuneration was hiked. Now, the producers have also filed a complaint against her in CINTAA for the same,” says a source.
“Kangna has been going about town talking about her bikini look on her own without the film’s publicists being involved,” another insider points out. Interestingly, Sanjay himself is a co-producer of the film. Though the formal complaint takes the heat off Ajay and Sanjay for being instrumental in Kangna’s ouster from the promotions for personal reasons, some are wondering why neither Sanjay nor Ajay stepped in for their once-good friend. “Everyone in the industry know the clout that the two stars hold. It would be ridiculous to think that they had nothing to do with this at all. They are clearly targeting Kangna,” adds another source.
