Someone FINALLY STOPPED Kangana Ranaut. Guess Who?
Her personal life has once again become fodder for headlines. But Kangana Ranaut’s ambitious project Manikarnika may have hit a rough patch too?
You are as good as your last film. That is the age old
saying in Bollywood and Kangana Ranaut is experiencing it firsthand these days.
Her last release, Simran, did not set the cash registers
ringing and divided opinion among film critics too. We are sure that Kangana
was hoping to bounce back with her next, Kamal Jain’s Manikarnika, the biopic
of Rani Lakshmibai. Let’s not forget that Kangana is yet to taste box-office
success after the 2015 release Tanu Weds Manu 2, after which Rangoon and Katti
Batti sank at the box-office.

But rumours in the industry claim that the film is on
shaky ground. Kangana along with co-star Ankita Lokhande had trooped to
Hyderabad but the schedule had to be cut short. Reason- a few of the financiers
who were backing the film have decided to go slow with their contributions.
So, after twiddling their thumbs in Hyderabad for a
while, Kangana came back and is hoping for a revival soon. While she is waiting
for some good news, Ankita, who will make her Bollywood debut with the film,
too seems to have been caught in this muddle.
Hrithik Roshan & Kangana Ranaut
We are sure Kangana Ranaut is hoping to soon make news
for box-office success rather than her personal feuds. We also feel that
her publicity campaign for Simran was wrongly directed towards her
animosity with Hrithik Roshan and Aditya Pancholi.

Rewind: Manikarnika even started on a wrong foot
after Ketan Mehta sent a legal notice to Kangana for allegedly
hijacking his biopic on Rani Lakshmi Bai.

In an interview with SpotboyE.com, Ketan Mehta had
said: “The film was happening. I fell ill in the middle and was hospitalised.
When I recovered and returned home, I got the shock of my life. I learnt that
Kangana was making Rani Of Jhansi with Kamal Jain as the producer.”
Well, it is a long way to go and given the whispers
emanating from the industry, it is not going to be an easy road for Kangana and
Manikarnika.
We sent a text to producer Kamal Jain explaining the
story— but he chose to not respond.
