Earlier on Wednesday, there was a furor over Ahmed Khan raising a question on female-led action films, and questioning films like Manikarnika and Dhaakad.

However, the director has now clarified that he was quoted out of context and also said " Kangana is the female Baaghi, the hero of Bollywood, and the only girl who can pull off an action film. I really liked Dhaakad teaser and got gooseflesh while watching it. She is a brilliant and powerful actor. If she approves my script, I will definitely work with her."
