Kangana Ranaut Reveals Prime Video & Netflix Rejected Her Idea Of Making A Film On Bilkis Bano

The Gujarat government's decision to free the 11 prisoners who had raped Bilkis Bano and slain her family during the 2002 Gujarat riots was overturned by the Supreme Court in the Bilkis Bano case ruling. Actor Kangana Ranaut replied to a fan on X on Tuesday, who wrote, ¡°Dear Kangana ma'am, your passion for women empowerment is so encouraging! Would you be interested in telling the story of Bilkis Bano with a powerful movie? Will you... Will you do it for Bilkis Bano, feminism or at least humanity?¡±

Kangana Ranaut claimed she hasn't been able to make the movie since none of the major studios or OTT platforms had supported her.

She wrote on X, "I want to make that story, I have the script ready, researched and worked on it for three years. But Netflix, Prime Video and other studios wrote back to me that they have clear guidelines they don't do so-called politically motivated films." The actor added, "JioCinema said we don't work with Kangana because she supports BJP and Zee is going through a merger. What are my options?"
