1 of 1

Mumbai Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut has said that she has the script of a film based on the Bilkis Bano case ready, but she could not do it due to lack of support from digital platforms like Netflix and Prime Video.

Recently, the Supreme Court had rejected the acquittal of 11 convicts accused of raping five-month pregnant Bilkis Bano and killing her family during the 2002 Gujarat riots.

A user on X asked Kangana about making a film on Bilkis Bano.

The user had asked, “Dear Kangana Ranaut, your passion towards women empowerment is very encouraging. Would you like to tell the story of Bilkis Bano with an empowering film? Would you like to do the same for Bilkis Bano, feminism or at least humanity? Can you do it?

She told that she wanted to make such a film for a long time, but due to lack of support she could not make the film.

Responding to the user, she wrote, “I want to make this story, I have the script ready, I have researched and worked on it for three years. But, Netflix, Prime Video and other studios wrote to me that They have clear guidelines that they do not make so-called politically motivated films.”

“Jio Cinema said we don’t work with Kangana because she supports BJP and Zee is going through a merger. What are my options?”

Talking about the work front, she will soon be seen in ‘Emergency’, in which she is playing the role of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
