Days after Kangana Ranaut revealed in mid-day's Sit With Hitlist interview that Pahlaj Nihalani had made her pose in a robe at the onset of her career, the former CBFC chief has stated to a magazine that it is owing to the posters of his film that Ranaut bagged her debut movie, Gangster. Nihalani also warned Ranaut to not meddle with him, suggesting that he had enough information to cause trouble.

Kangana shared a lot of incidents during the chat, one of them being how Pahlaj Nihalani asked her to work in a soft-porn sort of a movie. The actress said: "The fact that people met and promised to guide, help, but then I was put under house arrest. And then Pahlaj Nihalani had offered me a film called I Love You Boss. They had a photo-shoot where they gave me a robe to wear and no undergarments."
