JOIN USKangana Ranaut compares herself to Meryl Streep, gets trolled
Bollywood star Kangana Ranaut took to Twitter on Tuesday to compare herself with actors Meryl Streep and Gal Gadot. 'Queen' said that she has 'raw talent' like the Hollywood legend and can execute action scenes just like the Wonder Woman star. Kangana shared stills from her movies in a bid to prove her point.
Her comments garnered a fair deal of attention with most netizens trolling her for being 'narcissistic'.
A new word should be added to the English dictionary...Kanganaism, someone who suffers from a high degree of narcissistic delusion!

Oh My God! She is beating her own drums like few other can manage! BTW where is the range? Has she played any negative roles? Anti heroine? Any thing apart from author - producer backed roles. Any ordinary non glam roles?

There is a thin line between being confidence and self obsessed 🤣🤣🤣 pic.twitter.com/d7ZIL6BFoK

Kangana and Meryl Streep in one breath? BLASPHEMY. Kangana is nowhere close to Meryl and can never be. Why is Kangana so pompous? https://t.co/IFiVLhT7AP

Some of them, however, came to her defence and praised her for being a 'real talent'.
Wokes be crusading about self love but if one practices it they'll be the first to attack. Hypocrisy much? 🤔#Dhaakad and #Thalaivi ... can't wait 🙌💗

This, interestingly, is not the first time that Kangana has become the talk of the town due to her outspoken nature.
The Gangster actor had once remarked that the National Awards would 'lose their credibility' if she did not bag top honours for her work in the period-drama Manikarnika. She has also frequently targeted Taapsee Pannu, calling her a 'B-grade' performer.
Kangana, meanwhile, is going through a busy phase on the work front. The star is gearing up for the release of the pan-India movie Thalaivi, which revolves around the life of former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister the late J Jayalalithaa. The film, directed by AL Vijay, has been shot on a big budget and is touted to be a game-changer for Kangana. It has a strong cast that includes Prakash Raj and Arvind Swami. The Singam antagonist plays Karunanidhi in the magnum opus.
The Roja star, on the other hand, essays the role of the legendary mass leader MGR. The film was slated to hit the screens last year but that did not happen due to the Covid-19 pandemic. One is likely to get clarity on the new release date in the coming months.
Kangana will also be seen in the action-packed movie Dhaakad, which features her in the role of a braveheart named Agni.
The biggie has a star-studded cast that includes Divya Dutta and Arjun Rampal. It is slated to hit the screens on October 1. The star recently confirmed that she will be playing former prime minister Indira Gandhi in a film dealing with the Emergency and Operation Blue Star.
