Kangana Ranaut had made her big Bollywood debut in the year 2006 in Anurag Basu’s directorial Gangster.
However, talking in an interview, Anurag seemed a little disappointed in the actress as he spoke about her.
Anurag initially spoke on Kangana’s growth as an actress. He said, “Of the 20-25 girls we auditioned for the part, her face just stuck in my head – there was something unique about her. In the beginning, she needed guidance for everything. But she is a really fast learner. I have seen her growth during the filming of Gangster itself. There was something very raw and organic about her, very refreshing, very new.”
Basu was then asked if he was even slightly aware of the person Kangana would become. To that he said, “Not really. We usually don’t meet, but whenever we do, this public persona is not the Kangana I know personally. So I think there are two Kanganas. Beech wali [the other one] I don’t understand.”
In 2018, Kangana was supposed to reunite with Anurag for a film titled Imali. However, the actress expressed her desire to focus on her directorial career and opted out.
