Bailable warrant issued against Kangana Ranaut in defamation suit filed by Javed Akhtar

The Metropolitan Magistrate Court in Andheri, Mumbai, on Monday, issued a bailable warrant against actor Kangana Ranaut in a defamation case filed against her by lyricist Javed Akhtar. The court issued the warrant after Kangana failed to appear before it even after she was summoned. It was in November 2020 that Javed had filed a complaint against Kangana, post which the actress was asked to appear before the Andheri metropolitan magistrate.

The case was registered based on a complaint made by Javed in which he had said that Kangana has given a false statement about him without any basis, which hurt his image. In his complaint, Javed had claimed that Kangana had dragged his name in TV interviews after the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput in June last year. It also mentioned how Kangana had falsely claimed that Javed threatened her to keep silent about her alleged relationship with actor Hrithik Roshan.

Earlier today, Kangana was also spotted visiting her partially demolished Mumbai office. She had written, "I have been conducting meetings at my house. Today, Aksht Ranaut, who founded Manikarnika Films with me, also single-handedly handling all 700 cases filed on me, insisted that I attend an important meeting regarding Emergency at the office. I wasn’t ready and my heart broke again."

On the work front, Kangana has a busy year ahead. Besides 'Tejas', Kangana will also be seen in 'Thalaivi', a biopic on actor-turned-politician Jayalalithaa.

Apart from this she also has 'Dhaakad' and 'Manikarnika Returns: The Legend Of Didda' in the pipeline. Kangana has also signed up to play the role of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in an upcoming political drama.
