‘She believed in new India’

It was Rani Laxmi Bai’s birth anniversary on Monday, November 19. Marking the 190th years of the fearless freedom fighter, Kangana paid her tribute to Rani Laxmi Bai and said, “When Akhand Bharat was agreed upon, she really believed in new-age India and fought for it. I think the best way to pay a tribute to her is to value what we have today and to make Bharat a glorious country and world power. She was a true patriot who wanted her country to be a glorious one. I think to pursue her dream would be the best way to give her a tribute.”

Kangana will be seen playing the title role in Manikarnika-The Queen of Jhansi. The movie, which is mounted on a really large scale, sees a team of national awardees come together for a film. Right from Kangana Ranaut to Shankar- Ehsaan-Loy who are giving the music of the film, to Prasoon Joshi – it’s a dream team that has come together. Not just that, Hollywood action choreographer Nick Powell has designed all the stunts in the film. Manikarnika is set to release on January 25.
