Kangana Ranaut Reflects on Gangster Role

Kangana Ranaut recently shared that she nearly lost her debut role in the film 'Gangster' to actress Chitrangada Singh due to Mahesh Bhatt's concerns about her age. In an interview, she recounted the audition process where director Anurag Basu initially selected her, only to later inform her that Bhatt believed she was too young for the demanding role. However, when Singh failed to respond to calls from the producers, Kangana's role was reinstated. 'Gangster', released in 2006, was a surprise hit and earned Kangana the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut. The film also starred Shiney Ahuja and Emraan Hashmi. Currently, Kangana is promoting her directorial debut, 'Emergency', set to release soon.
