Kangana Ranaut Won't Promote Manikarnika Movie due to Non-Payment of Dues of Movie Workers

Kangana Ranaut warned the movie makers of Manikarnika that she would not participate in the promotions of movie. Kangana reacted on the non payment of dues of workers, who have worked for the film Manikarnika. Kangana is playing the Rani Laxmibai's role in this film. She is upset with the film makers behaviour towards technicians of the film.

Federation of Western Indian Cine Employees had said that the makers of Manikarnika movie are yet to clear the dues of Rs 1.5 crore to workers and junior artistes. Kangana said that technicians are devalued in the film and she would not tolerate such behaviour towards labourers.

It is very sad. I have always opposed such practices. Labourers and technicians are devalued in the film industry. I don't know why actors get unnecessary attention and importance in the film industry and because of that I want to be a technician.

"I feel they are absolutely devalued. I want to venture into writing and direction as they are unsung heroes of the film industry. When such things it should not be tolerated," Said Kangana.

However the producer of the film Kamal Jain refuted the allegations made by Kangana and he said that the payment is due for only one vendor. "
This is one vendor whose payment is under dispute and is being tackled professionally and in a businesslike manner," Said Jain.

The movie makers of Manikarnika assured Kangana that the issue resolved soon. "
They assured me and said, 'calm down'. I don't think any such issue can happen on the sets of this film and Zee Studios have a great reputation and they are a big studio. There will be no complaints from our end," Said Kangana.
