Kangana Ranaut calls Akshay Kumar's Selfiee ‘flop’

Actor-filmmaker Kangana Ranaut has a pattern of commenting on every big film that releases in theatres, but she restricts her observations to box office numbers, usually. Kangana has now taken an interest in Selfiee. 

This Friday, Akshay Kumar returned to the big screen with Good Newwz director Raj Mehta and producer Karan Johar’s Dharma production-backed Selfiee. Co-starring Emraan Hashmi, Diana Penty and Nushrratt Bharuccha, the film has been garnering poor to mixed reviews from audiences and critics. While the film has reportedly opened to a poor collection, this indeed was a reason for Kangana Ranaut to take a jibe. 

Comparing the first day business of her last outing Dhakaad indirectly with Selfiee, Kangana wrote, “Karan Johar movie Selfie has hardly made 10 lakhs on the first day I don't see even one trade or media person talk about it forget mocking or bullying him the way they harass me…”

In another Instagram story, Kangana re-shared an article with headline that reads: “Male version of Kangana Ranaut!, ‘Netizens react as Akshay’s Selfiee fails to impress viewers, maybe his 6th flop film in a row.” Reacting to this, Kangana wrote, “I was looking for news about Selfiee flop, I found all the news is about me… yeh bhi meri hi galti hai 😂😂😂,” she also wrote, “Wah bhai Karan johar wah (Congrats).”

Selfiee has registered a disastrous opening of around Rs 3 crore on its first day, marking the worst box office result for Akshay in over a decade. Akshay is coming off four back-to-back theatrical flops in 2022.
