Irked by the title change Kangana cites Salman's film

The actress claims that a small change in the title will not make any difference. Further drawing an example of Salman's film, she says that the Tamil version is also named after 'Mental'

Mumbai: Addressing the change in title of her upcoming film 'Judgementall Hai Kya', actress Kangana Ranaut has hit back saying that one of Salman Khan's film which was originally made in Tamil was also titled 'Mental'.

The actress also said that the change in the title from 'Mental hai Kya' has been the result of nepotism, powerplay and favouritism in the industry.

Interacting with the media, Kangana said: "I think whenever it is anything to do with Kangana Ranaut, people have a problem with it. Since I am an outsider, even if I breathe, people have a problem. But we outsiders also have learnt to make our way without creating a problem. Even one of Salman Khan's film which was a remake of a south Indian film was named ‘Mental'.

She further added: "There was no problem then, but now we are told that very recently, the word ‘mental' is banned, so we did not have that much choice. But we truly believe that we have made a good film. Our film has got a U/A certificate. We have faith in our intentions. A small change of the title will not make a difference."

Earlier, Indian Psychiatric Society (IPS) complained about the title to the censor board that the usage of the word ‘mental' trivialized mental health issues. Following the complaint, the title was changed.

The film stars Rajkummar Rao, Brijendra Kala, Jimmy Sheirgill and Amyra Dastur in pivotal roles.

Directed by Prakash Kovelamudi, the film is slated to hit the big screens on July 26.
