Film writer-editor Apurva Asrani has, via a cryptic social media post, taken a dig at Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut for hijacking a film and called it the worst form of hara-kiri.
Asrani, who took to Twitter to take a jibe at Kangana on Saturday, had earlier spoken about how the Queen actress took over the entire filming and the script of Simran, which released in 2017.
“A star hijacking a film and running down the hard work of crew member/s is the worst form of hara-kiri there is. When affected filmmakers cannot control this and instead put on a facade of a dignified silence, they allow a monstrous ego to go on a rampage and eventually kill the film,” he tweeted.

A user then asked: “But what is the choice?”
“Zero tolerance. From day one. If the actor refuses to abide by the contract, threaten/get legal intervention. I know many directors who have replaced tantrum throwing stars early on. And the studios have supported the courage and conviction of the maker,” Asrani tweeted.
