I BELIEVE IN TAKING THE ROAD LESS TRAVELLED: KANGANA RANAUT

The three time Nation award winner, Kangana, will be seen essaying the role of Rani Laxmibai in her upcoming film this year

Kangana Ranauts journey in Bollywood is remarkable with roles that got her National Film Awards thrice. She is now geared up for her next, Manikarnika..., Mental Hai Kya and a sports drama directed by Ashwini Iyer Tiwari. The actor says she is someone who has always taken on diverse roles, has broken most stereotypes and believes in being off the beaten path. Talking about Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi, Kangana, said: “I met with a nerve-wracking accident while shooting the film. It left me with a scar on my forehead. But when I look back now, I carry this scar with pride. I am nowhere close to Jhansi Ki Rani, but her story definitely gave me courage and strength to do this physically challenging part.”

“I am someone who has always taken on diverse roles and broken most stereotypes,” she added. Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi is an epic biographical film based on the life of Rani Laxmibai of Jhansi.

Kangana plays the lead role. She is also a part of psychological thriller Mental Hai Kya, in which she shares screen space with her Queen co-star Rajkummar Rao.

Kangana hopes the audience will like this film too.“we really don’t know about success and failure since it is not in our hands, but the script is nice and we are having a good time shooting the film. I hope the audiences like the film,” said Kangana, who is currently busy filming this project. After that, she will start working on Ashwini Iyer Tiwari’s sports drama in which she plays a kabaddi player.

“I am really looking forward to working with her,” Kangana said. “I believe in taking the road less travelled, discovering new things about myself and pushing my own boundaries to reach a newer, better, fitter and stronger space,” added Kangana, who won the National Film awards multiple times for Tanu Weds Manu Returns, Queen and Fashion.

The actor is someone who also faced tough times in Bollywood. But she says that has not changed her

as a person.
