Kangana Ranaut starrer Manikarnika has been the talk of the town because of its recent controversies but all seems to be going well for this biopic.

Recently, Ankita Lokhande strongly endorsed Kangana Ranaut as her ‘new captain’ and is extremely elated to be shooting for the first song of Manikarnika. Ankita plays the character Jhalkari Bai, a trusted aide of the Queen of Jhansi, Laxmi Bai and plays an important part in the movie.
She took to her social media and posted this:
Manikarnika is a biopic on the Queen of Jhansi, Laxmi Bai. When the makers of Manikarnika saw the rough cut of the film, they were upset and hence asked Kangana to take over. Kangana was given the option of taking on as director or letting the project be shelved. She agreed and decided to lead the unit. The producers had full liberty to get a new director on board but they didn’t as they have complete trust in Kangana and her dedication for the project.
Even the action director Nick Powell has been called back to reshoot certain portions. The patchwork too has been going on smoothly. All in all we are in for a treat on January 25, 2019 in the form of Manikarnika.
