Kangana Ranaut who is lately in news for her controversy with Hrithik Roshan is shooting for her upcoming film Manikarnika which is a story based on the life of Jhansi Ki Rani. The film is a much awaited one and Kangana has been rigidly training for her role. The lady trained for horse riding, sword fighting among other skills for the film. Previously it was out that Kangana will start with her debut directorial venture Teju after Manikarnika but, now it has been revealed that Kangana will be taking up a suspense thriller next.

A source reveals: “Kangana is very excited about her next project after Manikarnika. Interestingly, it’s not a woman-centric film which Kangana is known to do but a whodunit mystery thriller which will be helmed by a newbie director. The as-yet-untitled movie will also have a mainstream top hero opposite her. The script has been finalized and the casting for the film has already begun. While Teju was to be next after Manikarnika, right now this will be her next. Post Manikarnika, the actress will start prepping for this film as Teju has been postponed to mid-2018. Teju, revolving around the life of an 80-year-old-woman, is an expensive and challenging film full of VFX and will take some time to roll hence the actress decided to go ahead with the thriller first.”

Kangana was last seen in Simran , where she essayed an ambitious Gujarati girl, which performed averagely at the box-office.
