Entertainment journalists to boycott Kangana Ranaut after spat with reporter, meet Ekta Kapoor for apology

Two days back, Kangana Ranaut unveiled the first song from her film Judgementall Hai Kya. During the event, she accused a journalist of running a smear campaign against her and her movies. The two then got involved in a verbal spat, but matters did not end there.

Kangana did not clear her stance there, and the matter has been taken forward from each side. Kangana's sister Rangoli Chandel shared screenshots of the reporter's posts where he supposedly ran a smear campaign. On the other hand, the journalists too have set up a committee.

Senior journalists from the committee have already met Ekta Kapoor, producer of Judgementall Hai Kya, who was also present at the song launch. The committee released an official statement.
