Kangana Ranaut
Kangana took a dig at the Bollywood celebs for the 'pin drop silence'. She took to her Instagram story and penned a long note. Her post read, "Please notice the pin drop silence in the Film industry about #thekashmirfiles. Not just content even its business is exemplary... investment and profit proportion might be such a case study that it will be the most successful and profitable film of the year... It also broke many myths about theatres being exclusive for big budgets, event films or visual/VFX spectacles post pandemic. It is breaking every myth and preconceived notion that was there and bringing back the audience to the theatres. 6am shows in multiplexes are full, it's unbelievable!!! Bullydawood aur unke chamche sadme mein chale gaye hai... Not a word, sari duniya dekh rahi hai inko lekin phir bhi not a word... Their time is up!!"
