Kangana Ranaut Had Plans Of Making Film On Bilkis Bano Case, Says OTT Platforms Refused Due To Her BJP Links
Can we have this film out already?
The Bilkis Bano case is again in the spotlight, as the Supreme Court overturned the Gujarat government’s decision of releasing the 11 convicts who raped Bilkis Bano and killed her family during the 2002 riots. The case has been making it to news headlines with new changes and updates against the culprits. And now actress Kangana Ranaut’s name is being associated with the same, after a brief interaction between her fans and the actress on Twitter.
Recently while conversing on Twitter, a user asked Kangana if she would make a film on the Bilkis Bano case. Replying to this Ranaut mentioned, that she had great plans to make a film about the same, and even had a script ready for three years. She mentioned how she has the script ready, but no OTT platforms are ready to accept it or invest in it. Speaking about this, she tweeted–”I want to make that story, I have the script ready, researched and worked on it for three years. But Netflix, Prime Video and other studios wrote back to me that they have clear guidelines they don’t do so-called politically motivated films. JioCinema said we don’t work with Kangana because she supports BJP and Zee is going through a merger. What are my options?”

Ranaut is known for her heavy views on politics, cinema and filmmaking, alongside topics like nepotism, which she takes great interest in. The actress’s opinionated persona is visible online, with her unfiltered views on blockbuster films, involving the biggest celebrities of Bollywood. Just recently, the actress took it to her social media handles and expressed her disappointment over Ranbir Kapoor’s blockbuster hit–Animal. Comparing the box office success of Animal with the failure of her film Tejas, she mentioned that it’s the audience’s fault who chose to go watch “women beating films.” She also said that the success of such films is discouraging and makes her want to switch her career paths in a few years.
