Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi's buzz at the box office has taken a slight dent after that fabulous weekend. However, the movie is trending big time on social media thanks to Krish, one of the directors of the film, went all out against the other director, Kangana Ranaut. The Telugu film-maker, who was supposed to solely helm the project, accused Kangana of highjacking the film. He revealed that most of the film was exactly what he had shot, and Kangana only added a couple of scenes, while reducing the length of her co-stars' roles. Krish also mentioned that he was never invited to the special screening of the film held in December 2018, though the rest of the team was invited.

Kangana has been silent over these accusations till now, but her most vocal and ardent supporter, her elder sister Rangoli Chandel is taking the fight on her behalf. Taking to Twitter, Rangoli accused Krish of being a liar and an opportunist. She posted WhatsApp messages that Kangana had shared with her where she had 'invited' Krish for the December screening of Manikarnika.

In those WhatsApp messages, Kangana is trying to convince Krish that it was Zee Studios who took the call on reshooting the film with Kangana as the director. She claims they didn't like what Krish had shot, while they were happy with her edit. Kangana Ranaut Vs Krish: 5 Shocking Revelations Made by Manikarnika Director Against the Lead Actress!
And then in further tweets, Rangoli says that this controversy is disturbing her sister, who has sent these messages to her from Germany.
Kangana is very disturbed about constant conspiracies and public attacks, that’s why she sent this to me from Germany... @DirKrish

In retaliation, Krish started posting WhatsApp messages on the team that worked with him on the original edit. He wants to prove that these members are aware of the fact that most of Manikarnika's final edit is what he had shot. A couple of those tweets have been posted below -

He also accused both Kangana and Rangoli of being liars and fabricating what really transpired.
I never thought I've to defend my ability of film making based on the manipulations and lies of one person. @Rangoli_A these messages were ur sister's words about me ehen I've questioned her about the credit and the damage she is doing to the movie.

@Rangoli_A Few simple question., why my screen name has changed from Krish Jagarlamudi to Krish to Radha Krishna Jagarlamudi... Its beyond my imagination that somebody can thing this far to malign someone
N why she added her name in the month of decmeber
— Krish Jagarlamudi (@DirKrish) January 30, 2019
I'm confidently saying that everything Kangana has written on those whats app messages when I've questioned her, are complete lies and pre prepared, as she has foreseen that this day will come.
