Reacting on the recent controversy over Janhvi Kapoor’s new movie Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl, actor Kangana Ranaut has lashed out at director and producer Karan Johar claiming that he is running a ‘shop of nationalism, but cannot show patriotism.’ Kangana said that films that recreate war scenes with Pakistan earn a lot of money and hence Karan Johar makes such films but he portrays Indians as villains.
Kangana was reacting to the recent controversy on the movie Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl streaming on Netflix currently, which has allegedly shown the Armed Forces in a ‘negative’ light. Earlier, the Indian Air Force raised objection over the ‘negative portrayal of the Armed Forces’ and Gunjan Saxena, on whose life the movie is based had said that she received support from her male colleagues.
Kangana took a dig at Karan Johar and said she is writing a ‘Shayari’ on him. She said that the third gender has been included in the Army, but Karan has still not understood that a ‘soldier is always a soldier.’ On August 14, #Karan_Johar_Insults_IAF started trending on Twitter with netizens demanding an apology from the Producer.
करण जोहर पे शायरी अर्ज़ है।
हमें नैशनलिज़म की दुकान चलानी है मगर देश भक्ति नहीं दिखानी है।पाकिस्तान से वार वाली फ़िल्म बहुत पैसा कमाती है, हम भी बनायेंगे मगर उसका विलेन भी हिंदुस्तानी है।अब थर्ड जेंडर भी आर्मी में आ गया है मगर करण जोहर तू कब समझेगा एक सेनानी सिर्फ़ सेनानी है??— Team Kangana Ranaut (@KanganaTeam) August 15, 2020
I want to make a video and review movie mafia and co movie Gunjan Saxena,if they wanted to show bullies in Airforce they could have shown individual personality types but they generalised entire Armed forces,everyone was a jerk including her brother who was also an officer (1/2)

I have decided against it, it’s too time consuming and Papa Jo and company anyway lying low… if he remains low I will not dissect the film if he does PR drama then I will be forced to make a proper review exposing the anti national racket ?
