Mishti
Chakravarty,
who
was
seen
in
Kangana
Ranaut-starrer
Manikarnika:
The
Queen
of
Jhansi,
Thursday
said
she
was
hurt
after
watching
the
film
as
her
role
was
cut
down.
Mishti
played
the
role
of
Kashibai
in
the
period-drama
film
that
has
minted
over
Rs
50
crore
at
the
box
office.
In
a
recent
interview
to
a
portal,
Mishti
had
slammed
Kangana,
who
took
over
the
direction
from
Krishna
Jagarlamudi
that
has
led
to
a
controversy
over
credits,
for
chopping
of
her
role.
"I
was
hurt.
Whenever
you
sign
a
film,
you
are
told
this
is
what
you
would
be
doing
in
the
film.
But
you
realise
you
are
not
doing
anything.
This
is
a
lie
and
that
too
someone
tricks
you
into
giving
them
extra
dates
so
that
they
can
cut
the
previously
shot
scenes.
That's
very
wrong," Mishti
said
at
an
event
here.
The
actor
said
she
had
signed
on
the
dotted
line
when
Jagarlamudi,
also
known
as
Krish,
was
involved
with
the
film
but
things
changed
after
Kangana
took
over.
Mishti
said
artistes
are
known
to
be
narcissists
but
a
director
should
be
neutral.
"...
A
director
should
always
be
neutral,
he
or
she
cannot
be
biased
about
anything
and
for
him
or
her,
every
aspect
is
important.
A
real
director
can
never
be
self-
obsessed.
The
director
has
to
be
fair
to
everyone," she
said
at
the
launch
of
her
single
"Hone
De
Ishq
Shuru".
"There
are
times
when
we
shoot
for
over
100
days
but
not
all
is
retained.
So,
obviously
a
little
bit
would
be
cut.
But
if
you
unnecessarily,
just
to
glorify
yourself,
diminish
other
people's
characters,
that's
very
wrong.
No
sensible
artiste
would
do
that,"
she
added.
Mishti,
who
has
not
spoken
to
Kangana
over
the
issue,
said
she
came
to
know
about
her
role
being
cut
down
only
after
the
screening
of
the
film.
Kangana
has
maintained
that
she
stepped
in
to
save
the
film
after
director
Krish
left
it
midway,
a
claim
denied
by
the
director.
Krish
has
said
that
he
had
almost
completed
the
film
and
only
patchwork
was
left
when
Kangana
became
involved
and
wrongly
claimed
the
credit
as
the
main
director.
Mishti
said
Krish
and
other
team
members
have
started
speaking
about
it
after
the
release
because
they
did
not
want
to
hurt
the
film's
chances
at
the
box
office.
"The
director
was
earlier
quiet
to
not
let
anything
affect
the
film.
The
same
thing
was
followed
by
other
people
in
the
film,"
she
added.
According
to
Mishti,
Krish
has
been
getting
calls
from
everywhere
so
he
decided
to
speak
up
now.
"The
truth,
which
I
know
and
I
believe
90
per
cent
of
the
people
know,
is
that
the
director
completed
the
film.
I
was
there
till
the
end
so
I
know
who
shot
how
much.
"The
whole
film
was
completed
and
then
he
told
Kangana
and
producers
that
he
needed
to
sign
a
film
in
South,
which
was
NTR
biopic,
and
after
he
would
be
done
shooting
that
he
would
come
back
for
patchwork,
whatever
was
left."
As
per
Mishti,
the
director
wanted
to
come
back
and
complete
the
patchwork
on
"Manikarnika..."
but
then
it
was
decided
that
the
film
would
be
presented
in
a
different
way
and
he
"wasn't
welcomed
back".
"I
am
neither
blaming
anyone,
nor
commenting
on
someone's
ego.
I
am
just
telling
everyone
what
transpired.
Whatever
you
guys
have
known
so
far,
a
lot
in
it
is
wrong,"
she
said.
