Hansal Mehta is in the news right now for his web series ‘Scam: 1992 The Harshad Mehta Story’. It is getting a lot of appreciation and he is being flooded with requests for interviews. One website spoke to him and broached the topic of Kangana Ranaut and his association with her. He had directed Kangana Ranaut’s starrer movie ‘Simran’ which wasn’t able to impress the viewers much. On being asked about the movie Simran and Kangana, Hansal said, “I don’t know. I mean, I sometimes wish I never made it. There was no need. It was an unnecessary aberration in my career.
It makes me sad, it could’ve been a much better film. It had the potential to be a great film.””It went out of my control completely. That’s not a happy situation to be in. Other than dealing with the fact that she completely took charge of the set and began directing other actors, I lost a lot of money too. Which had nothing to do with her. Financially it hit me badly. I was stupid enough to sign some papers when the film was stuck for some reason, which got me into a financial and legal tangle. So almost a year-and-a-half, there was arbitration going on in court. I’ve sort of emerged back. You have to go through what you have to go through. It was tough.”
