Bold actress Kangana Ranaut will be next seen in an interesting project Manikarnika- The Queen of Jhansi . The film is based on the life of the heroic Jhansi Ki Rani. Kangana, along with the makers, launched the official poster at Varanasi. The actress performed Aarti and also took dips at the holy water.

In a media interaction, Kangana said, “I agree that I am rebellious but she (Rani Laxmi Bai) was a rebel with a cause that makes her a hero…I rebel because if my instincts want me too. So that makes me a badass. She’s a hero.”

Talking about the trend of making historic films, she said, “Well it’s working. Look at Baahubali, it has broken all the records and that’s what people want to see but to be honest ‘Manikarnika – The Queen Of Jhansi‘ is not like a project …”

Kangana also spoke about Rani of Jhansi and her bravery, the actress added, “She is from our country. If she was from some other country how would they celebrate her spirit. So, we as a nation need to give her, her due.”
