According to Kangana Ranaut, the bad reviews that her debut film, Tiku Weds Sheru, is receiving are the result of a “smear campaign” run by the “movie mafia.” She has urged audiences to see the movie and not rely on “paid reviews” and “fake trends.”
Kangana posted on her Instagram Stories, “…movie mafia doing everything to harm my film, fake reviews and smear campaigns started even before its release. Anyway it’s streaming now please watch it for yourself or only ask your friends or people you know about the reviews of the film if they saw it before you, don’t go by paid fake trends or reviews.”
“I was 16 when I started, it’s better to start young if you are looking at a film career, problem is if you play a flower on the wall, exploited just for youth and has no lines or role or opportunity given… Whatever mafia PR is trying to do with age controversy, please understand it’s not working… how about working on your own films and watching TWS again,” Kangana penned down on Instagram Stories.

Kangana posted a picture of her and Irrfan Khan and averred, “Fun facts… Earlier choice for TWS Irrfan Khan and Kangana Ranaut – Age gap more than 20 years. Finally, who did the film Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Avneet Kaur – Age gap more than 20 years.”

Avneet is 21 and Nawazuddin is 49. When their kiss appeared in the Tiku Weds Sheru teaser, many people on Reddit were “grossed-out.” A person added, “It’s so disappointing to see Avneet Kaur, who is just 21, paired opposite someone (Nawazuddin Siddiqui), who is 49.” Another wrote, “Shocking how it’s coming from Kangana.”
In conversation with India Today, Nawazuddin stated, “Romance is ageless. The problem is that the young men have no romance left. We are from the times when romance was something else. We would be in love and be in ‘ishq’ for years. Today, Shah Rukh Khan continues to do romantic roles because the young generation is ‘nalli’ (useless). They don’t know romance.”
