Bollywood is destined for doom jab tak movie mafia has power,” Kangana had written in her Instagram stories.

In a different story, Kangana targeted filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt and added, "Bollywood mafia daddy papa Jo who has single-handedly ruined the work culture in the film industry has emotionally manipulated many big directors and forced his products of mediocrity on their cinematic brilliance, another example will be following soon after this release... people need to stop entertaining him, in this Friday release even a big hero and greatest director are the new victims of his manipulations."
