Kangana Ranaut is busy in the shoot of an upcoming epic movie based on the life of Maharani Lakshmi Bai, whose previous name was Manikarnika and who fought against the British East India Company all the time she was living. Rani Lakshmi Bai is known as one of the very brave women out of many epics from India.
This break to her is also given by Kangana Ranaut and Ankita’s role in the film is also very important role of Jhalkari Bai who fought along with Rani Manikarnika always other that this she was also one of the very important advisers of the Rani. Once to save Manikarnika she introduced herself as Maharani in front of Britishers. During the times when UP minister was Mayavati, there was created a great statue of Jhalkari Bai which shows that how important part of that history Jhalkari Bai also plays.
Kangana Ranaut after listening to the story of Maharani, she got so impressed that she decided to do all the stunts by herself which have led to several problems as well, in an fight scene she got hit by a sword near her eyes which lead to the delay of movie shoot for around one month.
In an interview, Kangana said “Thanks to Nihar Pandey, as I had a big cut near my eyes and I had almost lost my eyes. Thank you, Nihar Pandey, who missed his que, he keeps telling me, “do you really think that I did it purposely?” And I am always like “I really don’t know” and then he says “You mean”” and she laughed. But further added that “these things happen but they are nothing in front of what this woman has done, Maharani puts herself on fire in just the age of 8, she was so brave and she has definitely left a mark on my mind that is going to change me as a person for my life. Actually, this is what I badly wanted at that time.”
