Filmmaker
Ahmed
Khan,
in
a
recent
interview,
lauded
Kangana
Ranaut
and
expressed
his
wish
to
work
with
her.
However,
a
while
ago,
he
called
out
the
actress
and
said
her
film
Manikarnika:
The
Queen
of
Jhansi
was
a
flop.
Calling
Kangana
Ranaut
the
'hero
of
Bollywood'
Ahmed
Khan
told
the
Navbharat
Times,
"Kangana
is
the
female
Baaghi,
the
hero
of
Bollywood,
and
the
only
girl
who
can
pull
off
an
action
film.
I
really
liked
Dhaakad
teaser
and
got
gooseflesh
while
watching
it.
She
is
a
brilliant
and
powerful
actor.
If
she
approves
my
script,
I
will
definitely
work
with
her."
Kangana's
sister
and
manager
Rangoli
took
to
twitter
and
shared
Ahmed's
latest
comments
hailing
Kangana.
He
said,
"Yeh
dekho
Ahmed
Khan
ji
bhi
line
pe
aa
gaye,
maafi
bhi
mangi
aur
Kangana
ko
film
industry
and
sabse
bada
Baaghi
bhi
kaha,
Dhakaad
ki
tarif
and
all,
sab
interest
ke
saath
vasool
ho
gaya...
very
good"

Earlier,
Ahmed
had
also
claimed
that
it
would
be
hard
to
make
women-led
action
films
and
used
Manikarnika
to
express
his
point,
saying,
the
makers'
'money
was
wasted
and
the
film
suffered
a
huge
loss
which
led
to
Dhaakad
being
shelved.'
But
Kangana's
Dhaakad
is
still
in
works
and
was
confirmed
by
the
film's
producers.
Rangoli
later
revealed
that
filmmaker
Ahmed
Khan
apologised
and
said
that
he
was
misquoted.
According
to
Box
Office
reports,
Manikarnika: The
Queen
of
Jhansi
had
made
Rs
102
crore
at
the
Indian
box
office,
and
Rs
53
crore
overseas.
