Kiran Rao recently responded to Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s comments without mentioning his films, making it clear she hadn’t seen them. In an interview, she talked about misogyny in general, giving credit to Aamir Khan for apologizing for past problematic content like ‘Khambe Jaisi Khadi Hai.’
Rao disputed Vanga’s claim that she named ‘Kabir Singh’ and ‘Baahubali,’ reiterating her focus on misogyny without singling out specific films. She suggested Vanga talk directly to Aamir Khan about his concerns and emphasized she isn’t responsible for Khan’s work.
Vanga’s ‘Animal’ page countered Rao, stating their comments were based on media reports. This controversy is happening alongside Rao’s upcoming film ‘Laapataa Ladies’ and Vanga’s success with ‘Animal,’ which faced criticism for its portrayal of toxic masculinity.
