Few days ago, Manikarnika -The Queen of Jhansi, starring Kangana Ranaut, was flagged off in Varanasi where Rani Lakshmibai was born. Says the film's director Krish, "Many heroes had emerged from this struggle and she was the greatest of these heroes who left her imprint on a traditional male space. Ditto Kangana who is the hero of my film. There is no force equal to a woman determined to rise and that's true of both these women."
Krish's name was suggested to producer Kamal Jain who is producing the film with Zee Studios by Baahubali writer K V Vijayendra Prasad who has penned the period drama.
But wasn't Ketan Mehta supposed to direct Manikarnika - The Queen of Jhansi earlier? Krish turned wary and told Mumbai Mirror, "I don't know anything about that. I came on board with a fresh script that Vijeyandra Prasad Sir has written and which I have been researching since the past few months." He added that the shooting will start in Madhya Pradesh from mid-June preceded by reading sessions and workshops with the cast.
Earlier, speaking to the tabloid, Kangana said that she doesn't see herself working with another director after Krish as she wants to concentrate on her career as a filmmaker. When Krish was proded whether he will be open to his lead actress' suggestions on the set, he says, "Whatever happens on the set will be in the best interest of the film. Ideas from everyone will be incorporated. Kangana is a clever girl who understands filmmaking. She is one of the finest actresses in the county and I'm sure she will be a great director too."
While Kangana had said that she will turn director after this film, Krish pointed out to her that God has his own plans and there are many filmmakers who want to work with her. "She should continue acting at least in her own productions," he said.
