Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut and controversies go hand-in-hand. The actress has been at the center of yet another controversy after she recently shared an inflammatory post on Twitter, which received flak from all sections of the society and led the micro-blogging site to suspend her account.
After the suspension of her account, a spokesperson from the micro-blogging site had said, “We have been clear that we will take strong enforcement action on behaviour that has the potential to lead to offline harm. The referenced account has been permanently suspended for repeated violations of Twitter Rules specifically our Hateful Conduct policy and Abusive Behaviour policy. We enforce the Twitter Rules judiciously and impartially for everyone on our service.”
As if that was not enough, now a new FIR has been filed against the award-winning actress for allegedly instigating communal disharmony in West Bengal and giving a hate speech through the social media platform.
The complaint has been filed by activist and Trinamool Congress spokesperson Riju Dutta in Kolkata’s Ultadanga police station. Dutta has alleged that Ranaut has maligned the image of West Bengal's chief minister Mamata Banerjee. The Kolkata Police has registered a case against the actress under sections 153A, 504,505 IPC, and 43 and 66 IT Act.
Ranaut had allegedly written on Instagram, “Shame on everyone who supported this fascist Monster Mamta and shame on this government which can’t protect its supporters.”
On the work front, Kangana Ranaut will next be seen in Thalaivi. Directed by AL Vijay, Thalaivi a biographical drama based on the life of actress-turned-politician J Jayalalithaa who went to serve four times as the chief minister of Tamil Nadu. After being postponed several times due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the film is expected to hit screens in the second half of the year.
She also stars in RSVP Movies’ Tejas where she plays the character of an Indian Air Force pilot in the film. Her delayed project Dhaakad is also expected to start rolling this year.

The Dhurandhar title track just hit the internet, and the noise around this spy thriller just went up a few notches. This is the track that pulls rapper Hanumankind into his first proper Bollywood playback moment. They have taken the old folk number 'Jogi' and built a power-packed version around it, a mix of earthy roots and straight-up aggressive energy that hits like a truck. It fits, honestly. It mirrors the film's whole gritty vibe and Ranveer Singh's battle-hardened look with that wild beard.

What is the Dhurandhar title track about?
You get a proper blast of the film’s atmosphere from this track. The music video cuts fast between shots of a heavily bearded and muscular Ranveer Singh, looking every bit the part of a hardened operative. The video cuts to the other big names in the cast as well. Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal are all there in what appears to be a tense, dark situation. The music includes traditional Punjabi folk with a stronger, cinematic rhythm.
How did Hanumankind get involved in the Dhurandhar song?
It turns out his involvement was a pretty organic, almost spontaneous thing. Music composer Shashwat Sachdev opened up about how the rap section came together. Apparently, it happened during a late-night studio session with director Aditya Dhar and Hanumankind himself. They captured an impromptu performance that just clicked, bringing what Sachdev called a "raw, instinctive fire" to the whole track. For an artist known for his independent work, this Dhurandhar feature is a major step into the mainstream film scene.
All this build-up is heading towards a definite date. The makers confirmed it right at the end of the title track video. Dhurandhar is locked in for a worldwide theatrical release on 5 December of this year. For those who need more than a song to tide them over, the official trailer is promised for 12 November.
