'Want to run nationalism shop but not show patriotism?': Kangana Ranaut warns Karan Johar

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 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.
