Ranaut is known for her blunt nature and not mincing her words when it comes to exposing what happens in the bylanes of Bollywood. She has always been very vocal about her opinions and concerns. The actress has sparked a fresh debate on gender bias in India after claiming that even the most "modern-looking" business and Bollywood families still secretly prefer having a son.

Kangana Ranaut Makes Shocking Claims About Bollywood

During an interview, Ranaut opened up on the preference for a male child cuts across regions, classes and industries, including Bollywood, she said, "Every Asian household you can connect with. Ek toh aapki ek daughter hoti hai, and uske baad mein ek aur daughter hoti hai… Ho sakta hai ki jo zyada educated hai, dikhana chahe ki unhe farq nahi padhta. But let me tell you, sabko farq padhta hai, including actors, actresses, big families." Further, she said, "I know people who say it doesn’t matter, but it still does." Following the clip’s circulation online, several social media users said Kangana’s statement reflects a harsh reality, that societal conditioning runs deeper than the glossy image of modern India.

Produced under the banner Manikarnika Films and Zee Studios, the Hindi film was released in theatres on January 17. The official synopsis of the film on Netflix states, "The dramatic portrayal of the Emergency era in India explores Indira Gandhi's leadership, political oppression and the resulting societal upheaval." The Times Now review of the film stated, "Directing a film about such a polarising and complex subject is no easy task, but Kangana Ranaut approaches it with immense conviction. She has a clear vision of what she wants to convey, focusing on how the major political events impacted Indira Gandhi on a personal level. What truly elevates the film is its top-notch production quality, a big plus point for a historical political drama. It helps with the world-building and transporting viewers into it."
