The 34-year old star has been making headlines because of her controversial comments on the recently held West Bengal elections won by Mamta Banerjee. In order to protect their terms and policies, Twitter permanently suspended her account on May 4.

After being suspended on the micro-blogging site, Kangana shifted to post the same content on her Instagram. Following this, a new FIR was filed against her by an activist and spokesperson Riju Dutta for allegedly spreading hate propaganda and inciting communal violence in West Bengal.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Kangana's much-awaited project 'Thalaivi' which was slated to get a theatrical release on April 23, this year got postponed due to the rise in the number of COVID-19 cases in India. Apart from this she also has 'Tejas', 'Dhaakad', and 'Manikarnika Returns: The Legend Of Didda' in the pipeline.

Kangana has also signed up to play the role of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in an upcoming political drama. (ANI)
