After getting the invitation for the Filmfare award, Kangana Ranaut has filed a lawsuit against the leading magazine Filmfare. The Thalaivi actress was nominated by the top publication in the category of Best Actor in a Leading Role, Female. After receiving the invitation, Kangana shared through her Instagram story that she would sue the magazine.

Kangana wrote, 'I've banned unethical, corrupt and unfair practices like @filmfare since 2014, but since I have been getting many calls from them to attend their award function this year as they want to give me an award for Thalaivi... I am shocked to know that they are still nominating me. It is beneath my dignity, work ethics, and value system to encourage such corrupt practices in any way, that is why I have decided to sue @filmfare ... thanks.'

In reply to that, Filmfare denied all the allegations and stated all of them as 'patently false accusations.' They claimed that they only contacted the actress to inform her about the nomination and ask for her to send the address across for the invitation to the awards ceremony. The ceremony will take place on August 30 at the Jio World Convention Center at BKC, Mumbai.

Filmfare released a statement that states, 'Given the irresponsible remarks made by Ms. Ranaut about Filmfare Awards, we are withdrawing her Best Actress nomination for the movie Thalaivi. We reserve all rights to pursue any legal action against her malicious and defamatory statements tarnishing our reputation and goodwill.'

After the nomination was withdrawn by the Filmfare, Kangana Ranaut thanked the audience for supporting her and said, 'Thanks to everyone who supported me in this fight against the corrupt system but this doesn't stop me from taking legal action against themhellip I endeavor to put an end to these unethical practices and stop such malicious award showshellip see you in court Filmfare.'

On the work front, Kangana Ranaut is directing her upcoming film 'Emergency' where she will be seen portraying the former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
