Director Krish Jagarlamudi is upset with Kangana Ranaut after watching 'Manikarnika', a film he has co-directed. It was Krish who was the biopic's director first. After he almost completed the film, Kangana developed differences with Krish.

When the trailer released, Kangana claimed that she had done 70 percent of the movie! Krish is utterly disappointed with Kangana's claim. "How is she able to have a good sleep after taking major credit for directing the film?" the 'NTR' director asks.

In an interview, he alleges that the Bollywood actress almost reduced the film's quality after she became its sole director. "She turned pure gold into something like silver," he laments. That said, Krish also says that the film looks brilliant. "The grandeur I created is intact," he adds.

Krish reveals that Kangana disrespected his work when she told him that the 'Manikarnika' portions directed by him are at the level of a "Bhojpuri film".

"I spent 109 days on the project although I charged only half the remuneration that I typically receive for a Telugu film," Krish tells a media house.
