Rani Mukerji accused of nepotism

While fans have loved Siddharth Anand's last directorial film "Pathaan", the director seemed to have refrained from directing his other project, "War 2", allegedly leaving the directing to Ayan Mukerji—cousin to the "Mrs. Chatterjee vs. Norway" star Rani Mukerji.

Speaking about this matter, controversial Bollywood 'critic' Kamaal R Khan recently shared a post on his social media, hinting at nepotism being involved in Siddharth Anand's abrupt departure from the project.

Kamaal R Khan posted, "Rani Mukerji forced Aditya Chopra to sign Ayan Mukerji to save his career, when no actor is ready to do his film. Ayan is cousin of Rani. Now YRF (Yash Raj Films) is having 80% staff from Bangal, So you can say that it's a full-time Bangalee production house, not Punjabi."

According to media outlets, Kamaal R Khan also shared that the "Pathaan" director had previously refused to direct "War 2," due to the script being sub-par.
