Mumbai: Taapsee Pannu seems like a dig at Kangana Ranaut, without taking her name, when she said that “respect is earned, not commanded”. In a tweet, she wrote: “There is no film as ‘solo’ film, there is no actor such as ‘chota mota’ actor. A film is a team effort including all departments, all actors. The protagonist in nothing without the support of the ‘supporting’ cast.” It all started when a user tweeted on Tuesday: “Now everyone is praising Kangana Ranaut for calling out nepotism, I want to show this video to them and ask what is the difference between her and Kjo (Karan Johar)? If it was her prerogative as a director to cut roles of co-stars, why kjo is blamed for his decisions?” It was in response to this tweet that Taapsee tweeted. Taapsee’s words seem to be aimed at a tweet by Kangana’s digital team, which goes by the name Team Kangana Ranaut on an unverified Twitter account. They had tweeted on Monday: “MissionM or Badla they are maledominated films, @taapsee never gave a solo hit in her whole life.”
