During a conversation with News18, Kangana was asked why Ranveer Singh appeared to have become a target within the industry.

Abhi tak sikhati aayi hain.” [What I want to say is that the industry has, you know, a bit of… There is some love for Pakistan among many people here. Most films have, in a way, taught us to sympathise with or admire Pakistan. That’s what they have been doing for years.]
What Kangana Said About Dhurandhar
Kangana went on to connect her comments to Dhurandhar, the blockbuster franchise fronted by Ranveer Singh.

That’s the point. When a film comes along that shows Pakistan’s real face, then some people feel uncomfortable. They start wondering what value remains in everything they have been doing and promoting all these years.]
She further added, “When a film comes along that shows Pakistan’s real face, some people feel uncomfortable. They begin questioning the value of everything they have been doing and promoting all these years.”
