Manikarnika, the ambitious project starring Kangna Ranaut in Krish direction bankrolled under Sanjay Leela Bhansali is though in ambiguous pre production stage, a fresh poster of Kangna revealed as first sketch of Rani Jhansi Lakshmi Bai from the film is making rounds on social media.
Given the dedication of Kangna to get into the skin of character, essaying the role of the warrior queen of Jhansi won’t be a big task. Sporting of short hair, a turban, a nose ring and Chandra Tilak on forehead as part of fierce queen Jhansi Rani looked very apt.
However, South Indian audience compared Manikarnika’s look with Prabhas in ‘Baahubali.’ No harm, director Krish who made ‘Gauthami Puthra Satakarni’ in a record minimum time with plenty of war based action might be closely watching for ‘Baahubali 2’ release because technical standards maintained by SS Rajamouli have many things to understand and learn.
