Kangana Ranaut was recently embroiled in a controversy with her Simran co-writer Apurva Asrani over the writing credits for the movie. Apurva slammed the makers of the movie - Hansal Mehta and Shailesh Singh for giving Kangana the co-writer's credit and printing her name before his on the film's poster.

What followed next was a war of words between Apurva, Hansal, Kangana and Shailesh.

A week after the entire controversy, actress Vidya Balan took a dig at Kangana. Vidya, who is currently working on Tumhari Sulu, posted a picture of her holding a credit card on her Instagram account. She captioned the photo as, "Who needs credit when your director gifts you this card ?!!

Thankoo Suresh Triveni."

While Apurva Asrani laughed over the joke that the Tumhari Sulu producers made out of the entire controversy on 'additional credit', we wondered what would Kangana react to it.

To know that, we got in touch with the powerhouse actress. When we asked Kangana about Vidya's dig, she quipped, "Haha I read about that. Vidya is a dear friend and honestly, I am not a thin-skinned person when it comes to people taking digs or jibes at me."

Directed by Hansal Mehta and produced by Shailesh Singh, Kangana Ranaut's Simran is all set to release on September 15, 2017. The first teaser of the movie released two weeks back and Kangana's chaplin-sque avatar impressed the audience. The actress also has Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi in her kitty. The movie will go on-floors soon and is slated for an April 27, 2018, release.
