Kangana Ranaut’s ‘Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi’ is a visual extravaganza

Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi is a magnum opus about one of the bravest warriors in the history of India’s independence — Rani Lakshmibai. Portraying her on screen, is none other than Kangana Ranaut, who has also directed the film.

Along with a gripping plot penned by celebrated writer KV Vijayendra Prasad, the period drama also has some breath-taking action scenes choreographed by Hollywood stunt director Nick Powell. The music composed by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy along with lyrics and dialogues by Prasoon Joshi further add to the elements of the epic saga.

Kangana says, “Manikarnika will burn in the heart of India forever. It’s about a woman who has left an everlasting mark on our nation’s history and freedom movement. For ages, she has been a symbol of valour, commitment and passion and now the world will get to see her tale.”

Shariq Patel, CEO, Zee Studios, says, “We have all read about India’s foremost freedom fighter Rani Lakshmibai’s larger-than-life story of bravery and sacrifice in history books. In fact, we have grown up hearing about her legend. I’m excited and hopeful that the audiences will come to witness her extraordinary journey come alive on the big screen today.”

Producer Kamal Jain adds, “Manikarnika is our tribute to India’s biggest and bravest warrior queen, who sacrificed her life for the motherland. We are hopeful that India will come together to watch her awe-inspiring journey and appreciate our film.”

Produced by Zee Studios and Kamal Jain, Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi directed by Kangana Ranaut and Radha Krishna Jagarlamudi releases today.
