Mumbai, Jan 17 Newcomer
Kangana Ranaut is miffed at "Gangster - A Love Story", which
catapulted her to fame, being referred to as a "small film".
"After the awards at a celebration party, an actor who seemed a
little drunk walked up to me and smiled condescendingly to
congratulate me for winning the award for a small film. I was
immediately upset," Kangana said, referring to the 13th Star Screen
Awards function.
"Small? How is 'Gangster' a small film? Are they talking about
budgeting?
It's a Rs.80-90 million film. Is that chickenfeed?
"We shot the film in Seoul where no Indian film has been shot
before. The plot takes the characters to two different countries.
The largeness of the canvas is unquestionable. I'd rather be proud
of such a small film than be ashamed of some big film where I'd be
tucked away in an invisible corner. And I said so to the actor,"
Kangana told IANS.
She walked away with the best debutante actress award at the
function held in Mumbai.
Apparently, Kangana, who already has a reputation for not mincing
words, made her displeasure very clear to the actor who made the
remark. Several onlookers heard raised voices.
But she said: "There were no raised voices. I just made my point
very clear. 'Gangster' isn't a small film. I'm now doing some
so-called big films. And I'm equally proud of both."
The actress has, for now, stopped signing new films.
"I'm listening to new scripts every day. But nothing that excites me
enough to grab another offer. I'd rather wait for Anurag Basu's
'Metro' and Suneel Darshan's 'Shakalaka Boom Boom' to come out in
February and April before I say yes to any of the new offers.
"It's so difficult to follow up 'Gangster' and 'Woh Lamhe' with
something equally exciting. I envy Kareena Kapoor for getting 'Omkara'.
I'd love to work with directors like Vishal Bharadwaj and Madhur
Bhandarkar. In fact, I'll be listening to Madhurji's script soon."
Good times ahead in 2007?
"Very good times," said Kangana. "2006 gave me some heartburns
specially about my sister's injury and some unsavory rumors about my
fall-out with the Bhatts (Mahesh and Mukesh Bhatt). I think things
will be far more peaceful this year."
