Kangana Ranaut slams Dheeraj Dhoopar
In the teaser, Kangana Ranaut is seen taking on Dheeraj Dhoopar. She called him out loud and said, “You don't even have the 'S' of Shah Rukh Khan, man,” after the actor compared himself to the King Khan. Dheeraj was visibly shocked by her remarks. According to Kangana, he has no “main character energy” and is only playing on the sidelines of the game. Watch below:
