Presently Kangana is promoting her soon-to-be-released
movie, Simran.
When Kangana was questioned about the difference in opinions
regarding her statements, Kangana joked to a famous daily, "Why are we so
wary of discussions and debate? I am told it's bad PR, but I don't quite
understand that term."
Talking frankly about the huge pay gap between a male actor
and a female actor in Bollywood, Kangana specified, "There are women in
the industry who say that if actresses are unable to bring in crowds [in a
theatre] that a male star can, how can they demand equal pay. If we, as
actresses, keep instilling this inferiority complex in girls, there is no hope
for better times."
She added, "Personally, my logic for remuneration has
always been that I have 365 days to work, as much as any male star. An actor's
pay must be determined by the amount of work s/he does. Your gender is no
yardstick for it."
"The industry isn't just made up of four actors who have
lasted through the decades. I might not have 30 years behind me. But in my 10
years, I've achieved significant milestones to demand a certain fee. Anybody's
film can fail and this year has shown us enough proof of that. So, let's stop
giving the opening [weekend] and closing logic," Kangana further said. She
also disclosed that she knew actors can't work with her as she fights against
the traditional and stereotypical norms of an actress.
On the film front, Kangana will next be seen in Simran which
is helmed by Hansal Mehta and is slated to release on September 15, 2017.
