Celebrity chef Vikas Khanna, whose maiden venture as a filmmaker ‘The Last Color’, released in India recently, took to Twitter to express his disappointment at being asked to pay for a favourable review of the film.

“3 lacs for 3 Stars. 4 lacs for 4 Stars. Not forgetting this communication until death,” Vikas tweeted. He has also been sharing tweets by viewers who watched ‘The Last Color’ and had good things to say about it.

Earlier this month, Vikas concurred with Kangana Ranaut, who has alleged that Bollywood is ruled by a mafia along with a certain section of the media. He said that he used to be hurt by her claims but changed his mind after experiencing it firsthand, Hindustan Times reported.

“When I used to hear @KanganaTeam speak ab this issue of critics & favoritism & nepotism it used to hurt my heart. But today I experience it first hand. Minions won’t let outsiders enter even if they put their heart & soul in craft. It’s painful to hear ‘Pay or we’ll destroy you’,” he wrote on Twitter.

The Last Color, starring Neena Gupta, explores the unlikely friendship between a nine-year-old tightrope walker and an elderly widow. The film also shines a light on the social injustice meted out to widows in Varanasi.
