Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut used her Instagram account to mock filmmaker Karan Johar’s latest movie “Selfiee” on its release day.The film, which stars Akshay Kumar and Emraan Hashmi, is directed by Raj Mehta.Kangana compared the opening day box office collections of “Selfiee” to her last movie “Dhaakad” and commented on the lack of media attention on its poor performance.
Kangana Ranaut commented that even though Karan Johar’s latest film had a poor opening, no one had criticized or harassed him for it.She shared an article that called Akshay Kumar the “male version of Kangana Ranaut” and joked about being the focus of attention even when the news was about someone else.
“Selfiee” is a Hindi remake of the Malayalam film “Driving License” and is produced by Dharma Productions, Magic Frames, Prithviraj Productions, Cape of Good Films, and Star Studios.Trade experts predicted that “Selfiee” would make between Rs 4 to 5 crore on its opening day, but it only earned around 10 lakhs.
This is one of the lowest opening day earnings for Akshay Kumar in the last ten years.
The film was released in just 1200 screens across India, which could have contributed to its poor performance.
“Dhaakad”, Kangana’s last movie, also had a poor start at the box office, earning less than Rs 1 crore on its opening day.It was later removed from theaters due to “extremely low audience turnout”.Despite this, Kangana will be seen next in the movie “Emergency”.
Akshay Kumar is currently occupied with his franchises as he has two major films, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan and Hera Pheri 3, in the pipeline.
