Kangana’s Sister Accuses Karan Johar Of Sexing Up Invaders

Takht , Karan Johar’s proposed  take  on  the  Mughal dynasty,  has incensed none other than Kangana Ranaut’s sister Rangoli who has  publicly accused  Johar  of  making Moghul invaders  look sexy.

 Calling  Karan  “dumb”  Rangoli writes,  “And now not surprisingly our dear Karan Johar is making a film on this cruel bloodline, he will depict Aurangzeb cruelty through his abs and sexual relationships…These dumb filmmakers need to be stopped from sexual depiction of historic characters, before they start their crying drama and claim that democracy is dead and bring international shame to the nation, I request authorities to ask them to submit their scripts.”

While one cannot  endorse Ms Rangoli’s  entreaty  to “submit” scripts  to “authorities”(last checked we  still  functioned as a democracy ) there is  some truth in  her allegation of  glamorizing  and sexualizing  the invader.

A  major filmmaker  who  wishes  to remain  unnamed  says  the culture of glamorizing  plunderers  began before  Takht. “Karan  Johar came in  later. We  first  had  Sanjay Leela Bhansali portraying  Aalluddin  Khilji as a ferocious macho man in  Padmaavat , wild and raunchy, a  sexy anti-hero. Karan, as we all know,  aspires  to be  another Sanjay Leela  Bhansali. If   Bhansali made  Allauddin sexy, Johar will make Aurangzeb sexier, specially since Vicky Kaushal is portraying  the Moghul invader.”
