Aanand L Rai on his “different” friendship with Kangna Ranaut

Kangna Ranaut who has been dominating the headlines for her fall out with Karan Johar over nepotism in the industry, has also got herself into a mini-feud with director Aanand L Rai, who gave her two of her biggest films, ‘Tanu Weds Manu’ (2011) and ‘Tanu Weds Manu Returns (2015).

According to Pinkvilla, it was reported in a leading daily that Ranaut rocked the boat slightly when she made a comment that Rai was working on a script for her and that she will be working with him once again, which wasn’t the case.

When asked, Rai dismissed all talks and said, “Kangana and I are still good friends who care for and call on each other. But we’ll wait till we find a happy, meaningful space to work together.”

He further added, “During Tanu Weds Manu Returns, she was a better actor and I guess I was a different director too. I don’t know if it was she or me who got more complicated, but the synergy was different.”

Rai continued to say, “I won’t say there were conflicts but she understood life differently from me. We made a good film and have never said we won’t work together again, but there needs to be a little gap before we feel we have something to say together.”

Ranuat is currently busy shooting for her upcoming film ‘Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi’, whilst Rai is working on his next ‘Dwarf’, starring Shah Rukh Khan.
