No superstar wants to work with Ms Ranaut. Well, six of them, at last count!
With Kangana Ranaut declaring war on Hrithik Roshan’s denial of their relationship, the actress has ticked off yet one more A-list leading man from her list of potential co-stars.
No Khans for Kangs
For better or worse, several of the top male actors have officially or unofficially banned Kangana. So you won’t see her with any of the Khan superstars. She alienated them when she made a statement saying that she didn’t need the Khans to make it to the top, unlike other actresses. What she meant was that she was after heroine-oriented films, and in Khan’s films, actresses have little to do. But the result of her declaration was that the only Khans who are willing to work with her are Irrfan, Saif and Imran.
Quiet exits
Ajay Devgn, Sanjay Dutt, and Hrithik Roshan…. three actors who have worked with her before — made discreet exits. Mind you, there is nothing official about the ban on Kangana by the male superstars. But one look at their roster of co-stars will confirm that fact. Leaving the actress no choice but to work with the likes of Vir Das (Revolver Rani), Rajkummar Rao (Queen) and R Madhavan (Tanu Weds Manu).
The final countdown
One imagines it’s time for Kangana to consider the future course of her career, given the domination of male superstars at the Bollywood box-office. How long will this strong-willed actress survive without their patronage or endorsement? Is an attempt to build bridges with the co-stars who matter, on the cards? Or is she happy being a Queen with a king-sized chasm beside her?
THREE KINGS, NO QUEEN
HRITHIK ROSHAN
The bridges (even the imaginary ones) are burnt, make no mistake about it. Going by his legal notice, HR wants nothing to do with the actress who was once his co-star in Krissh 3 and Kites
AJAY DEVGN
Rumours swirled about their fallout. The actor used to be fond of his Once Upon A Time In Mumbai co-star and while some say her statements during the Rascals promotions did her in, others pin it on a relationship gone kaput
SANJAY DUTT
Statements made by Kangana ahead of the Rascals promotions didn’t sit well with Baba, who it seems summarily refused to share the stage with Ranaut, once a regular visitor at his residence
