Balaji Motion Pictures issued an apology but the journalists have decided to ban Kangana Ranaut on all media platforms.

Actress Kangana Ranaut's unfiltered talks have once again led her into a major controversy. This time with journalists covering the entertainment genre.

Kangana Ranaut had accused journalist Justin Rao from PTI for running a "smear campaign" against her during the release of Manikarnika. The verbal war took place during the song launch of Wakhra Swag.

During the event present were Rajkummar Rao and producer Ekta Kapoor along with other members of the film Judgemental Hai Kya.

After the heated argument, the members from Entertainment Journalists Guild of India met producer Ekta Kapoor and demanded a public apology from Kangana Ranaut.

Instead, Balaji Motion Pictures issued an apology to the journalists for the untoward incident which took place during the event.

Responding to Balaji Motion Pictures apology, the Entertainment Journalists Guild of India, responded,

It will be interesting to see if actress Kangana Ranaut bends down to the media pressure and apologize publicly or continues to face media boycott.
