Kangana blasts Subramanian Swamy. Kangana Ranaut, the leading lady of the film \"Tejas,\" has been in the spotlight since her groundbreaking portrayal of Ravan Dahan at the Lav Kush Ramleela event in Delhi on Dussehra this Tuesday. While her ardent fans and supporters applaud her, a portion of the public has been ruthlessly trolling her for a minor fumble during the arrow shot.\r\nAmong the critics of Kangana\'s participation in Delhi\'s Lav Kush Ramleela, notable Economist and former Cabinet Minister Subramanian Swamy was prominent. In response to a picture of Kangana Ranaut donning a swimsuit, Swamy took to X and remarked, &ldquo;According to SPG gossip she is a \'frequent flyer.\' Why should SPG gossip? Because the organization is overworked. Her selection as the chief guest for the Ramlila\'s final day is an action unbecoming of respect for Maryada Purushottam.&rdquo;\r\nSwamy\'s tweet did not sit well with the \'Queen actress,\' known for her outspoken nature. Kangana was swift in her response, delivering her reply with her characteristic style.\r\nIn response to Swamy\'s tweet, Kangana stated, &ldquo;With a swimsuit picture and a salacious narrative, you are suggesting that I have nothing else to offer except my physical appearance to advance in politics. Ha ha! I am an artist, arguably one of the greatest in Hindi films, a writer, director, producer, and a revolutionary right-wing influencer. If there were a young male maverick instead of me who could potentially be a great future leader deserving of guidance and mentorship, would you still imply that he is probably using his physical appearance to advance in politics?&rdquo;\r\nShe continued, &ldquo;Deep-seated sexism and latent objectification of the female body make your words sound perverse. Women are not just for physical attraction; they possess other qualities such as intellect, heart, hands, feet, and everything else that a man possesses or requires to become a great leader. So, why not, Mr. Subramanian?&rdquo;\r\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"></div>

Boyapati replied that even without any background score, Akhanda will still give goosebumps to the audience. He also said Thaman added more value to it with his BGM. Irked by his comments, Thaman posted 'I Don't Care' in his Twitter.&nbsp;

Now, during the success meet of Bhagavanth Kesari, Thaman once again made strong comments. He said, We don't spoil good scene. We even try to elevate it further with our BGM. If the scene doesn't have basic emotion, it won't work whatever you do. It's like dead on arrival. No one can do it anything to such films. Directors need to&nbsp; deliver the content.&nbsp;

These comments made by Thaman seems to aim at Boyapati for his Skanda failure. Thaman has scored music for Skanda. Earlier, during the success celebrations of Nandamuri Balakrishna's Legend directed by Boyapati heade similar comments about Devi Sri Prasad. Boyapati commented that he has extracted music from DSP. Irked DSP immediately took the Mic and said I am not a cow to extract milk. I have my own ideas and implemented them for this film. That's how Boyapati creates issues with overenthusiastic talk.
