In 2017, Kangana spoke about her thoughts on heading to the West in an interview with Mid-Day. She said, “It would be stupid for anyone to make the move to the West now. Their theatre business is crashing because of the influx of digital media. Asia, on the other hand, is where Hollywood was 15 years ago. It is a lucrative time for entertainment here. These are baits that I won’t fall prey to.”
Later in 2022, Kangana reacted to comedian Kapil Sharma teasing her by asking if she planned her debut in Hollywood with her latest release Dhaakad. Kapil asked her the question when she appeared on The Kapil Sharma Show. To which, Kangana said, “Humare yaha pe itne talented log hai na, to humme kahin aane jaane ki zarurat nahi hai. Ab jaise ki, world has become one place na, to sab log yaha kaam kare, waha ke log yaha pe kaam kar rahe hai. (We have a lot of talent here and don’t need to go anywhere. The world has now become one place now and a lot of people are coming from other places to India and working here).”
A New Chapter Begins
In a surprising turn of events, Kangana Ranaut, known for her formidable presence in Bollywood, is set to make her Hollywood debut. The actress will star in the upcoming horror drama Blessed Be the Evil, directed by Anurag Rudra. Joining her are Tyler Posey, recognized for his role in Teen Wolf, and Scarlet Rose Stallone, daughter of Sylvester Stallone.
The Tale Unfolds
Blessed Be the Evil delves into the story of a Christian couple grappling with the aftermath of a devastating miscarriage. Seeking solace, they move to an abandoned farm, only to confront a malevolent presence that tests their faith and love.
Behind the Scenes
The film is a collaborative effort between director Anurag Rudra and Gatha Tiwary, president of Lions Movies. Rudra, drawing inspiration from Indian folklore, aims to present a narrative that resonates universally. Production is slated to commence this summer in New York, a decision influenced by recent industry tariffs introduced by President Trump.
A Strategic Move
Kangana’s transition to Hollywood marks a significant shift, especially considering her previous reservations about working in the West. Her recent portrayal of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in Emergency showcased her versatility, and this new venture further expands her artistic horizons.
Anticipation Builds
The announcement has sparked discussions among fans, with many expressing excitement and suggesting potential collaborations with other Indian actors in Hollywood, such as Priyanka Chopra. As Blessed Be the Evil gears up for production, audiences worldwide await Kangana’s performance in this chilling tale.
