Actress Kangana Ranaut made a shocking claim that a "smear campaign" is being run by the "movie mafia" against her debut production 'Tiku Weds Sheru'.
Kangana Ranaut's debut production 'Tiku Weds Sheru' released on Prime Video on Friday (June 23) and the film starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Avneet Kaur has opened to mixed reviews.

In the latest entertainment news, she also requested the audience to watch the new Hindi movie for themselves and not to go by "paid fake trends or reviews."
The actress also said that all the poetry in the new Hindi movie has been written by her.
Taking to Instagram Story, Kangana Ranaut wrote: "People are sending me messages that they are loving the poetry in the film, yes all the shayari in the film is written by me.. also movie mafia doing everything to harm my film, fake reviews, and smear campaign started even before it's release."
"Anyway, it's streaming now please watch it for yourself or only ask your friends or people that you know about the reviews of the film if they saw it before you, don't go by paid fake trends or reviews. also do write your feedback after you watch it... Happy watching Tiku Weds Sheru," she added.
Earlier, the 'Tiku Weds Sheru' trailer had faced backlash after netizens were not impressed with a kissing scene of Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Avneet Kaur. Fans called out the 28-year age difference between the lead stars.
'Tiku Weds Sheru' features Nawazuddin Siddiqui as a junior artiste in Hindi films and Avneet Kaur as an aspiring actress.
At the Tik Wed Sheru trailer launch event, Kangana had revealed that she was initially supposed to star in the comedy film, opposite late Irrfan Khan.
“Many years ago, around six-seven years ago, me and Irrfan (Khan) sir were doing this film. We had invited the media and it was a big launch event. That time the film was called Divine Lovers. Unfortunately, after that my director fell ill and then we tried making it for the next two-three years but it never took off," she had said.
