Kangana Ranaut accuses Hollywood of stealing screens in reaction to Ryan Reynolds’ ‘mimicking’ statement – Times of India

Hollywood actor Ryan Reynolds recently made a statement comparing Hollywood and Bollywood, while promoting his upcoming movie. He had stated, “If you’re wondering whether Hollywood is just mimicking Bollywood…Well, the answer is yes. We have no shame, no shame at all.” Reacting to this statement by Ryan, Kangana Ranaut slammed American film industry for stealing screens in India. Sharing Ryan’s statement on her Instagram story, Kangana added, “And trying to steal our screens…”

Earlier too, Kangana had expressed concern over Hollywood films dominating screens in India. Speaking at a press conference, PTI had quoted the ‘Queen’ actress, “We need to discourage American and English movies as they are taking over our screens. We need to behave like one nation. We need to stop dividing ourselves like North India or South India. We need to enjoy our own films first, be it Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu or Punjabi.”

Kangana Ranaut is currently riding on the success of her latest release ‘Thalaivi’. Directed by AL Vijay, the film is a biopic on actress-turned-politician late Jayalalithaa. Apart from this, Kagana Ranaut will also be seen in ‘Tejas’. Directed by Sarvesh Mewara, this film features Kangana in the role of an air force pilot. She also has ‘Dhaakad’ with filmmaker Razneesh Razy Ghai. Recently, Kangana also announced ‘The Incarnation – Sita’. This project is a period drama and will be directed by Alaukik Desai.
