Kangana Ranaut on working with KJo: That I don't want to work with him is untrue

Kangana Ranaut

Kangana Ranaut yesterday said she considers herself to be the most professional artiste in the film industry and that her tiff with director Karan Johar is an assumed phenomenon. The actor, who infamously branded the filmmaker as the flag-bearer of nepotism last year, said she never declared that she would not want to work with him.

"I don't harbour notions about anyone. That I don't want to work with someone is untrue. And it is also not necessary that we have to be friends with everyone. I don't think one needs to venture into someone else's personal space. I think I'm the most professional person. I'm a career woman," Ranaut said at a fashion event yesterday. "My career means a lot to me. I'm not going to compromise on my opportunities. I'm a go-getter and I'm going to get what I want, regardless of what people feel or don't feel," she added.

The actor had recently made headlines after she shared the stage with Johar, along with director Rohit Shetty on the set of the reality acting show, India's Next Superstars. When asked about her marriage plans, Ranaut said she will tie the knot soon. "Please give me a deadline till next February," she quipped.

About the progress on her upcoming film, Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi, the actor said that film is expected to arrive in theatres later this year. "The film was earlier scheduled to be released on April 27 but as it is heavy on VFX, it is expected to be out at the end of the year. Let's wait till then," she said.
