Oppenheimer’ has a new fangirl, and it’s none other than Bollywood ‘Queen’ Kangana Ranaut!
The ‘Tanu Weds Manu’ star recently couldn’t stop gushing about the ‘Father Of The Atomic Bomb’. Taking to X (formerly Twitter) on Friday, the actress said that the American theoretical physicist reminded her of Indian rishis or saints.
Sharing an old black and white photograph of the scientist where he appears extremely emaciated, she observed that the more “intellectual” an individual is, the less they are concerned over the matters of the body.
“His body is like typical Rishi/munis bodies description in our scriptures, it’s true as a thinker and an intellectual person your body starts to shrink or be of very little importance to you, just like your food and worldly assets/social life… your mental absence in the physical world and your passionate engagement with other worlds ( in Oppenheimer case cosmic and atomic worlds) starts to reflect in your appearance,” she wrote.
The physicist became a hot-button topic once more after the iconic director Christopher Nolan made a biopic on his life. Eponymously titled ‘Oppenheimer’, the film became a critical as well as a commercial success. The movie went on to earn more than $960 million worldwide and its leading man, Irish star Cillian Murphy bagged a Golden Globe as well as a BAFTA for his impeccable performance as a misunderstood genius who faces a huge moral dilemma.
On the work front, Ranaut is busy promoting her next film ‘Emergency’. It also marks her return to direction
