‘People in Bollywood live in a bubble…’ Kangana Ranaut decodes success of Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2
Kangana Ranaut has reacted to Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2 movie’s success and shared reasons why South movies are doing better than Bollywood.
Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2: The Rule is breaking records at the box office. The Telugu pan-India action thriller is a sequel to his 2021 blockbuster titled Pushpa: The Rise. Directed by Sukumar, it also stars Rashmika Mandanna and Fahadh Faasil. The year 2024 has been quite fruitful for several South Indian movies. On the other hand, not many big Hindi movies have managed to impress the audience. Kangana Ranaut was recently asked about the same.
Kangana Ranaut on Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2
In an interview, Kangana Ranaut reacted to the success of Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2 and shared her thoughts on why South movies are doing better than Hindi movies. During the Agenda Aaj Tak session, Kangana said that she doesn’t think Bollywood is mainstream by any standard. She believes the Hindi films should be defined as the Indian film industry.
Further in this entertainment news, the Queen actress said that people in Bollywood live in a bubble and that is one of the biggest reasons she has an issue with them. According to Ranaut, people in the Hindi film industry refuse to come out of the bubble. Ranaut believes all they do is go to the gym, take protein shakes and injections and have no connection with reality.
Kangana Ranaut also said that no one from Bollywood would’ve agreed to play Allu Arjun’s role in Pushpa 2. “Inko chaiyeh six pack abs, hot babe, beach, bike, item number bas bahut hai. They want six pack abs, hot babe, beaches, bike, and item numbers. That’s enough for them. It is important to have a reality check,” said the actress.

Kangana Ranaut and her opinion shifts are a saga to witness and enjoy. Time and again, the actress is found contradicting her own thoughts as per convenience. However, the internet has always tracked down her statement switches and has done it again when she praised Pushpa 2. Reddit has minutely noted how Kangana praised Allu Arjun’s film for the same things she once shamed Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal for.
How did Kangana Ranaut criticise Animal film?
During a promotional event for her film Emergency, Kangana said in Hindi, “See the kind of patriarchal films that still stir a storm at the box office. Men are out with axes and are indulging in bloodshed and violence. They enter schools with machine guns as if there’s no police, there are no consequences. They’re just piling dead bodies. And why? Just for fun. It’s not for public welfare or the protection of borders. Only for fun. They just take drugs and have fun.”
Why are people trolling Kangana Ranaut for praising Pushpa 2?
Kangana during an Agenda Aaj Tak event was seen going gaga about Pushpa 2, a film which is no less in narrative than Animal – be it violence, action, misogyny or patriarchy. The internet in no time reminded her of things she said about Animal. One user declared, “She has always been a hypocrite.” Another added, “Didn’t she acted in a violent film called Dhaakad?”
Someone joked, “She changes opinions faster than my hair growth.” A person also opined, “I think you’re right. She probably has some memory issues or some high level of cognitive dissonance. Hypocrites are plenty but I don’t know anyone who changes his/her statements this fast and again and again.”
Watch Kangana’s Emergency coming in theatres near you on 17th January 2025.
