She captioned the post with, "Even before Covid, theatrical footfalls were dipping drastically post covid it has become seriously rapid. Many theatres are shutting down and even after free tickets and many reasonable offers drastic footfall decline is continuing. Requesting people to watch films in theatres and enjoy them with family and friends or else they (theatres) won't be able to survive. Thanks (sic)."
She said, that if they have liked films like Uri, Mary Kom and Neerja, they will also like her Friday release. "Friends, my film Tejas released in theatres yesterday
Replying to her video, a user wrote, "People are going to theatres more than ever. But not to see your movies."
Kangana took to social media X and slammed people who wished ill and bad for her career. Replying to a netizen he wrote, "All those who are wishing me ill, their lives will be forever miserable because they will have to see my glory every day for the rest of their lives, since I left home at the age of 15 with nothing I am consistently chiselling my own fate and there have been enough evidence that I am destined to do significant things for the cause of woman empowerment and for my nation Bharat. For their own mental health I request them to join my fan clubs that way they will be aligned with the larger universal plan, I want my well wishers to be kind to them show them the way.."

A section of netizens slammed her for spreading negativity.
A user wrote, "You should others hard work also, life is simple if you will spread hatred then you'll get the same.."
Another mentioned, "Exactly what goes around comes around, go back in time you will realise it.."
The third user mentioned, "I think you meant to say, join my PR team instead of the fan club because your fans don't exist on Earth."
The fourth user said, "Give me the name of any single actor or actress from Bollywood whom you have not abused. During bad phase of Bollywood, you did everything, you were enjoying the boycott and promoting this agenda. Its Karma. Remember: Never bite the hand that feeds you.."
As Kangana pleads with movie-goers to watch her film, users dug out an old tweet of Kangana where she had spoken about boycotting Bollywood.
