History
What was the controversy around 'Manikarnika' all about?
Kangana allegedly took control of Manikarnika, re-shot large portions of it, and later claimed she had directed 70 percent of the movie. In an old interview, Krish differed and said, "Kangana is lying. Clearly, if you look at the messages she sent to Vijayendra...seems that there was a plan in her mind to take over and present these later in her defense."
Controversy
'Manikarnika' was released last year, received mixed reviews
"Kangana and I are both not going away from this industry so soon. I will direct many more films in future and so will she. People will know who stands where. I am sick and tired of Kangana and the whole controversy," Krish said. For the unversed, Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi was released last year and opened to mixed reviews.
