Vikas Khanna Backs Kangana Ranaut On Favoritism & Nepotism In The Industry After Film Critics Threaten To Destroy Him

Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut has been speaking on the subject of nepotism in Bollywood openly and freely for years now. Looks like the actress has now found a supporter in chef-turned filmmaker Vikas Khanna whose film The Last Colour starring Neena Gupta released recently.

Vikas in a handful of tweets shared his experience with some ‘minions’ from the industry who asked him to pay or be destroyed. Relating his experience to Kangana’s outburst against nepotism and favoritism in the industry he wrote in a tweet, “When I used to hear @KanganaTeam speak ab this issue of critics & favoritism & nepotism it used to hurt my heart. But today I experience it first hand. Minions won’t let outsiders enter even if they put their heart & soul in craft. It’s painful to hear “Pay or we’ll destroy you”.

Vikas’ tweet sent ripples of shock among his followers, filmmakers Vivek Agnihotri and Manish Sharma also reacted to this revelation and lauded him for speaking up. Vivek replied to the tweet and wrote, ‘More power to you,’ while Manish asked Vikas to expose the people asking him for money.

The Last Colour filmmaker who has been replying to people lauding his film on social media as a part of another tweet mentioned, "While many critics are asking for money or they will give me 2 Stars or destroy my movie or not give me AWARDS I ONLY care for my viewers & not reviewers My Award is YOUR love."

The Last Colour is streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
