Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut sought
to dispel the controversy over the writing of the story and dialogues
for upcoming film "Simran", saying it was actually writer Apurva Asrani
who suggested she take credit for the dialogues.
Kangana was speaking at the trailer launch of the film here on Tuesday
and clarified that Apurva has been given his due credit.
"First of all I want to make it clear that there are no dues pending.
Somehow people make it look like Apurva has not be given his credit,
that is not true. We made the contract exactly the way he wanted it to
be, in fact, Apurva is the one who suggested me to take additional
credit for dialogue writing. So we made the contract that way," the
"Queen" actress told the media.
She added: "After 'Rangoon' failed and some people attacked me, he
decided to write the note and said what he wanted to say which I found
in very bad taste. He has got the credit he wanted and there is no
issue."
The controversy erupted after the poster of the film released showing
Kangana's name as co-writer. Apurva took to Facebook to raise objection
to it and slammed the actress for taking undue credit.
Director Hansal Mehta and producer Bhushan Kumar were also present at
the event.
While giving a little insight on her character in the film, she said:
"Though my character, Praful Patel, is a girl who works in a
housekeeping department, she has big dreams and ambitions. She always
fights for her rights and she is unstoppable. There is a similarity
between her and my personal life."
The actress went on to say: "This is unfortunate that in every step of
my life I had to fight for my right. And I have been doing that all my
life. It is okay if you call me a fighter or a rebel, this is how I am.
I do not take offence on those names but I will stand for my right, be
it by fighting or in any other way."
The film is set to release on September 15.
