Kangana Ranaut's Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi continues to make news, days after its release. The actress strongly believes that the industry is ganging up against her as she spoke about nepotism in the Hindi film industry. In a statement issued by the actress, she said that she is "not going to spare" Bollywood for ganging up against her. Though Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi made good moolah at the Box Office, the film right from its inception faced ample controversies.

When asked about the objections that are being raised by the film's co-director Krish and other members of the cast such as Mishti, Kangana said, "These people have got so much from this movie but if they are not grateful, then nobody can do anything about them. Even when the Christ came, people like them crucified him, so when the Gods can't help them what we humans can do about them. I have given my heart and soul to this film and worked tirelessly throughout the year. I had to let go of two films. The contract of those two films was higher than Rs 20 crores I was getting. So we can't be talking about ungrateful people, we should rather be talking about people who have loved the movie, the ones that have taken time to go out and watch it with their friends and family. You cannot remember the names of people like Prasoon Joshi or Shankar Ehsaan Loy or for that matter Zee Studios, they have pumped in so much money that was not on me but for a movie on Jhansi Ki Rani so that the nation can go and watch this movie, the school kids can get a glimpse on our freedom struggle. You are giving undue importance to people who deserve no attention."
