Kangna Ranaut Likes Comedy More Than Serious Roles

When she entered the film industry, we thought that Kangana Ranaut was too serious for her boots. With her screen past, she seemed fit only for ‘crack’ roles. Well, this girl is now trying to make you crack up. The actor is now trying her hand at comedy.
“I prefer comedy to serious cinema. It’s the one genre that Indians absolutely love,” she says.
Gearing up for another laugh riot, she talks about everything that makes her laugh out loud:
“I love to laugh. Even if I’m having a bad day, I’ll make sure that I end it on a happy note by hanging out with friends who can make me laugh. I can relate to funny situations. One film that I am never tired of watching is Jane Bhi Do Yaaron.”
“The scene when the coffin is mistaken for a car has me in splits every time I watch it. And the beauty of the film is that a murder scene that’s supposed to be serious; it is so enjoyable to watch. There is a message here, whether we want to take it or not — life is how you choose to view it. People have changed, and with them, films too. But comedy is still comedy, and we Indians absolutely love it.”
“I like to have fun, both on and off the screen. I’m good friends with all my co-actors and that’s what makes work so enjoyable. When I was shooting for my upcoming film, my director would actually have to tell us to shut up.”
“I’ve never worked with so many guys on one film. Arshad (Warsi), Sanjay (Dutt) and Riteish (Deshmukh) would keep cracking these double meaning jokes and leave me in splits. We even went shopping together, and trust me, shopping with boys can be quite funny. Fortunately, they didn’t play any pranks on me.”
“Comedy excites me, be it real or reel life. There is so much potential for us actors to discover ourselves and our brand of humour when we’re doing comedies. I don’t know how funny I am, maybe my friends would be a better judge of that. But what I do know is that I can laugh at the silliest of things. I hope that I can tap my full potential as an actor in a comedy film. There really is more to life than doing item numbers. I don’t look down on the fad, but I can’t see myself doing one. I don’t think I’m attractive enough to do an item number (laughs).” Source

Kangna Ranaut Is Fighting For Her Dates

Kangna Ranaut seems to be caught in the clash of producers, Ratan Jain (Tez) and Bhushan Kumar (I Love NY), over dates.
According to a source, the actress, who is currently shooting for Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru’s I Love NY (earlier titled Happy New Year), was urgently required for a day on the sets of Tez in UK.
Jain requested Kumar to give a day out of her current schedule, but he didn’t oblige. As a result the Tez unit will have no choice but to shoot without their lead actress,” the source informs.
BK confirms, “We are shooting with both Sunny Deol and Kangna till June 20. Jain required Ranaut for a day. We tried our level best but we couldn’t match our combination dates.
Her traveling to London will be another two days. It was difficult for us to let her go for three days altogether. Moreover, both Sunny and Kangna are leaving on June 20, for IIFA. So we can’t even extend the shoot.”
The producer adds, “We are all part of the same industry and should be there to help each other. I have a huge respect for Priyadarshan (director of Tez) and Jain but unfortunately, it couldn’t be worked out. They will have to manage without her.”
Will the other producer be upset with him? “Why would he be? The dates are with us and not with him. We hope he understands. And if he doesn’t then I can’t do much. I tried really hard.”
Kangna Ranaut and Ratan Jain remained unavailable for comments. Source

Kangna Ranaut Is Pissed Off

Kangna Ranaut is truly irked with the mischief creators buzzing the mediavine. Reportedly, the actress is hopping mad with all the stories doing the rounds as regards her allegedly rotten behaviour. The actress and her PR have been steadily carping to the scribe tribe that a certain clutch of people from the industry are constantly slandering Kangna.
In fact, Kangna’s PR executive has taken matters a step forward and has threatened legal action against periodicals that delight in supporting negative buzz over Ranaut.
Earlier, Kangy told an eager media that she shared “terrific chemistry, both on and off screen” with a topline hero, who’s now ready to burst a blood vessel the instant her name is mentioned. That apart, there is talk that Kangna allegedly ill treated a staffer of hers and her attitude on the sets of a recent TV dance reality show did little to buoy her dwindling image.
A close source states that KG behaved “strangely” and that she dozed off to Slumberland backstage and later, refused to reel off her bytes to a comment hungry media. Most journos feel that rather than threatening the media… it would be better if Kangy checked her errant behaviour too. Source

Kangna Ranaut Visits Tirupati Balaji Temple For Her Upcoming Film

Tirupati Balaji temple is indeed lucky for the bollywood stars. Kangna Ranaut was a rare exception to that rule (to her defense, she has been meaning to visit for six years now)… until last week. She was there to seek blessings for her next, Tanu Weds Manu.
She says, “I went to Tirupati last week with my brother and sister, for the first time since coming to Mumbai. We go to Vaishno Devi more often.
But when I came to Mumbai, people kept telling me to visit the Tirupati Balaji temple. I wanted to, for many years now, but work commitments kept coming in the way.
I was determined to go this time around. The trip was hectic and stressful but worth it. I loved my experience there. He (Balaji) is so powerful.”
 Kangs was keen on divine intervention for her film Tanu Weds Manu. “It’s a film that is very special to me.
I had a close brush with death and almost lost my leg while shooting for the film so I have literally given my blood, sweat and tears for it. It’s a film that’s like my special child.
I had gone to seek blessings for the film at Tirupati
About parallels with her character in TWM, she says, “I feel I am Tanu in many ways. I too come from a small town like her, am rebellious and suffer a cultural conflict.
I feel this is my best work so far and a far cry from the traumatised characters I have played in my earlier films.” Source
