Sonu Sood refused to work under a woman director: Kangana Ranaut

After Sonu Sood decided to opt out of Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi, actress Kangana Ranaut, who plays the titular role in the film, said that he left the project mid-way since he didn’t want to work under a woman director, news agency IANS reported. “He refused to meet me. He refused to work under a woman director. Even though the team suggested that they have full faith in me, it seems, Sonu had neither dates nor faith,” IANS quoted the actress as saying. Kangana Ranaut had taken up the role of the director in the absence of Krish (director of Manikarnika). After the filmmaker got busy with NTR biopic, co-starring Nandamuri Balakrishnan and Vidya Balan, Kangana decided to direct patched left. “He wanted the producers to retain the kushti portions as he made the body for it for four months. How did I know that is happening behind my back? When writers saw the film, they said they don’t want it,” Kangana Ranaut told IANS.
