Reacting to her tweet in which Kangana called Oppenheimer the 'most important film of out time', a user asked the actress, "What about the scene related to Bhagwad Gita? Seems like intentional."
To this, Kangana replied, "Everyone has their own way of showing devotion, being a Jewish person he won’t see Hindu Gods religiously but in the film if he has devotion or influence of anyone that’s Lord Vishu … now that’s also Bhakti in its raw form."
Earlier today, Kangana also said she loved the part in the film which refers to Bhagavat Gita and Lord Vishnu. "My favourite part is the reference to Bhagavad Gita and Lord Vishnu when he channelises his inner Vishnu. Go watch it, it's a lovely film," she is heard saying in the video.
"Christopher Nolan’s best work so far … Most important film of our time…Most important film of our time… I am so excited I just didn’t want it to end … it has everything I deeply love, I am passionate about Physics and politics …For me this was like a cinematic orgasm… beyond wonderful," she wrote along with the video.
