Last year, announcement of Dhaakad, starring Kangana Ranaut in the lead became quite a talking point. A large scale actioner, the film will involve a lot of heavy duty combat and stunts. Recently, Kangana also announced that she had gained 20 Kgs for her role in Thalaivi, and aimed to lose than in 2 months so that she can start shooting for Dhaakad, confirming that the film was going on floors shortly.
However, recently in an interaction with a publication, Baaghi 3 director Ahmed Khan made some baseless statements on how female led actioners won’t work and made false claims about Dhaakad not being on the cards. After the irresponsible and unsubstantiated claims, the producer of the film, Sohail Maklai, Director Razneesh Ghai and Rangoli Chandel called out Khan’s false claims in a series of tweets.
