Mumbai, July 4
Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap defended his ‘Manmarziyaan’ lead actress Taapsee Pannu in a Twitter spat with actress Kangana Ranaut's sister Rangoli Chandel, who asked him to "back off".
Anurag came out in support of Taapsee after Rangoli called the actress a "sasti (cheap) copy".
Taapsee had tweeted about the trailer of ‘Judgmental Hai Kya’, saying: "This is so cool! Always had high expectations out of this one and this looks so worth it! 'Judgmental Hai Kya'”.

Rangoli replied: "Kuch log Kangana ko copy kar ke he apni dukaan chalate hain (Some people run their shop by copying Kangana), magar (but) please note, they never acknowledge her, not even a mention of her name in praising the trailer. Last, I heard Taapseeji said Kangana needs a double filter and Taapseeji you need to stop being a sasti copy."

To this, Kashyap said it was "really desperate" of Rangoli.
"Come on Rangoli.. this is going too far. This is really, really desperate. I really don't know what to say to this. Having worked with both your sister and Taapsee. I just don't get this. Praising the trailer means praising all aspects of it. Which includes Kangana." Rangoli didn't stop there.

She wrote: "Sir, you can see it's not about mentioning Kangana so much. Clearly, a lot of people I have thanked haven't mentioned her, it's just that I am tired of people taking digs at her. Who is this Taapsee to claim that Kangana needs double filter. So now I am here showing everyone (the) mirror... I know you are working with her, but please don't get desperate without understanding the real issue... back off." — IANS

You have been calling Kangana last night and telling Taapsee is her fan, give me one media interaction where she said that, infact she always calls Kangana extremist, Kangana has opinions so what? Why call her filter and extremist....(contd)

(Contd)..Taapsee is a fan & loves to copy her yes we all are, who wouldn’t like to be like Kangana bt why attack her and take digs, yeh sab shanagiri nikalne keliye he toh main twitter pe ayi hun thank u very much magar sab ki pol khulegi koi nahin rok sakta 🙏
