Kangana Ranaut credits herself and Shah Rukh Khan “last generation of stars.”

‘Sherni” Kangana Ranaut, who will next be seen in *Emergency, recently credited herself and Shah Rukh Khan as the “last generation of stars.”

When asked if her entry into politics was a result of her recent films proving a debacle at the box office, she said that this wasn’t the case. Kangana cited the example of Shah Rukh Khan, who had a rough patch at the movies before delivering the biggest hits of his career Pathaan, Jawan and Dunki in 2023.

At the Times Now Summit, Kangana revealed that there is no actor in this world who has never had a flop. Shah Rukh didn’t have a hit for 10 years, but then Pathaan worked. She did not have a hit for 7-8 years, then Queen worked. Again, she didn’t have a hit for 3-4 years and then Manikarnika worked.

Now hopefully, “Emergency” is coming and she hopes it works. Also directed by her, Emergency is set to release on June 14.

In the film she essays the of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, and focuses on the “Emergency” era. The film also features Anupam Kher, Shreyas Talpade, and Milind Soman, among others.

Kangana further added that it isn’t easy to become a star now since the OTTs have taken over. Although many actors are getting opportunities, OTTs aren’t producing stars as yet.

These days, because of OTT, actors have more opportunities to showcase their talent and that they are the last generation of stars. OTT doesn’t have any stars. They are known faces and by the grace of God, are very much in demand. So, it’s not like that. She wants to involve herself with the real world as opposed to just being consumed by the field of arts.

Kangana’s last three films – Tejas, Dhaakad and Thalaivii are among the biggest flops in Indian cinema history. She has now started her political career and will be contesting elections from Mandi as a BJP candidate.
