Filmmaker Hansal Mehta has spoken up again about his fallout with actor Kangana Ranaut when they collaborated on the film Simran in 2017. When asked if Ranaut took over Simran’s edit, the 54-year-old tells Mashable India, “Edit nahin, takeover kia tha usne. But edit takeover karne ke liye kuchh tha nahin kyunki material hi wohi tha jo usne shoot karwaya tha. She is a very talented actor, who, I feel, has limited herself by making films about herself.”

He goes on to speak about her song from her latest film, Dhaakad, titled She’s On Fire. Mehta says, “Abhi kuchh gaana aaya uska… She is a woman on fire… you are basically talking about yourself. You know these are things you aspire for yourself, you put it there. It’s not even my place to criticize what choices she makes. She’s a big star, even today and she is a very good actor, I maintain that and working with her, we didn’t gel. Working with her was a massive mistake (sic).”
