The Kapoor family recently met Prime Minister Narendra Modi to invite him to the Raj Kapoor Film Festival, held to mark the late legendary actor-filmmaker’s 100th birth anniversary. In a conversation with Agenda Aaj Tak, Kangana Ranaut commented on the meeting, calling PM Modi’s involvement with the film industry a significant step.
Kangana Ranaut seeks desire of meeting PM Narendra Modi: “I don’t get an audience with the Prime Minister, I have requested for one…”
When asked about PM Modi meeting the Kapoor family while she has been waiting for an audience with him, Kangana Ranaut replied, “I think our film industry definitely needs a lot of guidance. It’s a soft power and I think it’s very underutilized. Today, be it PM Modi or our other guides Information Broadcast Ministry, or other programs, I have also been a part of the industry for 20 years. I think the industry is orphaned; they don’t have any guidance. That’s why whether it is the Jihadi agenda or the Palestinian agenda, anyone can capture them. Because they don’t have any guidance, they don’t know where to go.”
Kangana Ranaut further expressed that individuals in the film industry are vulnerable and said, “You can make them do anything with a little money. Dawood takes them to his parties, and they often become targets for hawala and drugs. They are very vulnerable. I think the step to meet them is so they realize that PM Modi meets us, observes our work, and thinks about us. Such things don’t happen there. They feel they can do anything, like attending gangster parties in Dubai. They believe no one is watching them. So, this is a very good step.”
She concluded, “They need to be a part of mainstream industries. We are a part of a very big industry, but we don’t get respect like other industries. We make so many films and generate so much revenue. Coming to the fact that I don’t get an audience with the Prime Minister, I have requested for one and I hope I get it soon.”
On the work front, Kangana Ranaut will next be seen in her self-directed film Emergency, where she portrays former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. The film also features Shreyas Talpade, Anupam Kher, and Mahima Chaudhary in key roles and is set to release in theatres in 2025.
