It takes a special kind of talent to upset Rajkumar Hirani, a filmmaker known for his genteel nature and even temperament. This after getting under Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan Khan and his begum Kareena Kapoor Khan’s collars. That singular talent of Kangana Ranaut is earning her more enemies by the day.

Jab we meet
Says a source, “Raju is puzzled and irritated that every time he meets Kangana, stories fly about their working together. And while he has directed her along with Mahendra Singh Dhoni in an Indian Premier League (IPL) ad, he did so at the request of Mukesh and Nita Ambani, who he is close to. The next thing he hears, is that he’s directing a film for Kangana’s home production. He’s horrified as it’s completely untrue. Also, he finds it strange that whenever he meets the actress, the media is tipped off.”

Just ain’t true
The source says that the actress has been giving people the impression that she’s popular with B-Town biggies, when in reality, they are wary of her. “She invited herself to Saif’s intimate do at his home. Fact is, her Rangoon co-stars Shahid Kapoor and Saif are closer to each other than they are to her. Saif and Hirani are gentlemen and both would never castigate her in public by giving statements against her. Hirani is unable to understand her motives for spreading fake stories. He’s not involved with her professionally in any way and feels slighted that a filmmaker of his stature is being taken for granted like this with fabricated stories of their proximity.”
