The grandiose spy-thriller Dhaakad, which debuted earlier this year, starred Kangana Ranaut.
The Razneesh Ghai-directed movie had an enormous
budget of 85 crore, but it turned out to be one of Kangana's career's biggest disappointments.
Even though the film's complete box office numbers were
never disclosed, reports claim that it fell short of the 10-crore mark. Simran,
in contrast, earned a 28 crore gross at the time of its 2017 release.
Hansal apologised for working with Kangana on Simran in an interview with Mashable India in June.
To be fair to her, she did not take over the edit, but there was nothing to take over.
