# Bollywood Feud Escalates: Kangana Ranaut Brands AR Rahman "Prejudiced and Hateful" Over Film Snub **Is Bollywood's divide between stars deeper than we thought?** Kangana Ranaut unleashed a fiery Instagram rant against music maestro AR Rahman, accusing him of refusing to meet her for her directorial *Emergency* and dismissing it as a "propaganda film."[1][4] The drama ignited when AR Rahman, in a BBC Asian Network interview, labeled Vicky Kaushal's historical epic *Chhaava* as "divisive" and accused it of cashing in on societal rifts, while praising its core theme of bravery.[1][2] Kangana, undeterred, hit back hard on her Instagram Stories, sharing a screenshot of Rahman's comments. She wrote: "Dear @arrahman ji, I face so much prejudice and partiality in the film industry because I support a saffron party yet I must say I have not come across a man more prejudiced and hateful than you."[1][4] Digging deeper into the grudge, Kangana revealed she "desperately wanted to narrate" *Emergency* to Rahman but was told he wouldn't even meet her, viewing it as propaganda.[1][2][3] She countered that the film was hailed a "masterpiece" by critics and even appreciated by opposition leaders for its "balanced and compassionate approach."[1] "You are blinded by your hate. I feel sorry for you #emergency," she concluded, turning the spotlight on what she sees as industry bias against her political stance.[5][6] This clash highlights Bollywood's simmering tensions over politics, films, and personal grudges. Rahman, an Oscar winner known for hits like *Slumdog Millionaire*, has faced backlash before, but Kangana's bold call-out amps up the heat. Will Rahman respond, or let the music speak? Fans are divided—some back Kangana's unfiltered truth-telling, others defend Rahman's artistic integrity.
