Hansal Mehta says making Simran was ‘painful’

Hansal Mehta, who is currently basking in the glory of his latest web series Scam 1992, recently spoke about his film Simram which had Kangana Ranaut in the lead.

The filmmaker admitted that the experience wasn’t too pleasant. Hansal quotes, “I sometimes wish I never made it. There was no need. It was an unnecessary aberration in my career. It makes me sad. It could have been a much better film. It was a painful time.” He added, “The film affected my mental health. I went into a shell...I was in a period of very low self-esteem.”

Meanwhile, Kangana Ranaut and her sister Rangoli Chandel, who were supposed to appear beforeMumbai Police on October 26 and 27, will be giving it a miss. Their lawyer responded to the summons sent by Mumbai Police and has sought time after November 15. The reason behind is said to be their brother’s wedding and festivities at Kangana’s hometown, Manali.
