Kangana Ranaut reflects on her infamous Koffee With Karan episode: 'Karan Johar chote mote local villain hai, ab to meri biopic me bade bade villain aayenge'

Kangana Ranaut recently reflected on her infamous 2017 appearance on Koffee With Karan, where she labeled Karan Johar as a “flagbearer of nepotism” and “movie mafia.” In a new interview with The Lallantop, Kangana revealed that Karan was ‘taken aback’ by her bold remarks.

During the interview, when she was reminded of her earlier comment about Karan playing a stereotypical villain in a potential biopic about her, Kangana laughed and responded, “Ab toh mere biopic mein bade level pe, bade wale villain honge. Ye chote, mote villain nahi. Local nahi! Isko abhi chota villain banayenge! Ab achche, bade bade villain aayenge mere life mein (Karan Johar is just a local villain. If my biopic is made now, there will be a bigger villain. There are bigger villains in my life now)!”

Kangana also discussed the Koffee with Karan episode, stating, “Usko pata he kartute hi uske aisa he ki usko pata he! He is very snooty, very classist. He was taken aback that I gave it back to him (He knows exactly what he does, so he knows).”




Currently, Kangana is promoting her upcoming film Emergency. In a new episode of Aap Ki Adaalat with Rajat Sharma, Kangana addressed whether Congress MP Rahul Gandhi might like her film, and responded saying, “Agar woh ghar jaakar Tom & Jerry dekhte honge toh unhe kaise samajh ayegi (If he watches Tom & Jerry at home, how will he understand my film?)"



On the other hand, Kangana revealed that Emergency is still waiting for certification from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) due to threats against board members. She said that this has put pressure on them not to depict the assassination of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, Bhindrawale, and the Punjab riots in the film. Kangana described the situation as “unbelievable” and expressed her regret over the current state of affairs.
