Apurva Asrani SLAMS Hansal Mehta For “Seeking Mileage” Over Manikarnika Producer’s Illness

National award-winning film editor and writer Apurva Asrani has slammed filmmaker Hansal Mehta for “seeking mileage” from producer Kamal Jain’s illness.

Jain, producer of Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi, has been hospitalized for throat and chest infection.

On Sunday, Mehta posted about Jain’s health saying: “Sad news. I completely empathise with him and the possible cause of his condition. Prayers.”

To which, Asrani responded: “Precious – coming from someone who sent his closest collaborator to the gallows to gain the favour of the so called ’cause’. No apology, no empathy when your friend had a breakdown and was in the hospital? Please don’t seek mileage from the man’s illness now. Let him recover in peace.”
