Recently, there were reports of the workers on the sets of Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi not getting their dues paid for this film. However, in a recent interaction with Kangana Ranaut, when she was prodded with this question, she said,  "I've been informed about it there's nothing as such and it's just a dispute with a vendor where they don't think that they should pay as much the vendor is demanding for."

Kangana further added, "I also feel like being a technician as I think they're devalued. I also want to venture into writing and direction and jobs which are for the unsung heroes, and I also want to motivate the people for same. But when this injustice happens with labourers and technicians, it can't be tolerated".
