Ahmed Khan kick-started a controversy with his comment that Kangana Ranaut’s film ‘Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi’ was a flop. Kangana’s sister Rangoli Chandel soon slammed him on social media with a series of posts comparing the box office collection of ‘Manikarnika’ and Ahmed’s recent directorial ‘Baaghi 3’. After this war of words, Ahmed issued a statement hailing the actress. “Kangana is the female Baaghi, the hero of Bollywood, and the only girl who can pull off an action film. She is a brilliant and powerful actor. If she approves my script, I will definitely work with her,” said Khan. He also went on to praise the teaser of Kangana’s upcoming action film ‘Dhaakad’.
