Mumbai: Prominent actor in films - Prakash Raj recently shared a meme on Kangana Ranaut that joked about her repeated references to playing Rani Laxmi Bai on-screen in order to prove her nationalist credentials.
The meme also listed out several other Bollywood celebrities, both male and female, who have essayed gigantic historical figures on-screen.
The list includes Bollywood biggies such as Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Deepika Padukone and Hrithik Roshan among others.
The collage, that featured SRK as Asoka, Aamir as Mangal Pandey, Deepika as Padmavati, Hrithik as Akbar and Ajay Devgn as Bhagat Singh, read: "If one film makes Kangana think that she is 'Rani Laxmi Bai' then Deepika is Padmavati, Hrithik is Akbar, Shah Rukh is Ashoka, Ajay is Bhagat Singh, Aamir is Mangal Pandey and Vivek is Modi ji."

As the post surfaced the internet, Kangana's fans quickly responded to it.

A fan wrote: "Respected@prakashraaj, she lost her property, her hard-earned house, It’s easy for you to compare movie characters, What happens to you if your house is demolished."
Another wrote: "Sir, personally i believed that you are a real man. I respect you a lot. But in this case it's not happened. She lose her property, she lose her office, just think how many people lose their work right now in this pandemic situation."
Kangana's battle with the Shiv Sena leaders started when she compared Mumbai to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and criticised the Mumbai Police in a series of tweets.
The Panga actor earlier tweeted: "All chaploos who are showing their love for Maharashtra must know I am the first Actor/ Director in the history of Hindi Cinema to bring Maratha Pride Shiva Ji Maharaj and Rani LaxmiBai to the big screen and I faced huge opposition during the release from the same people."
