Here Is Why Kangana Ranaut Absolutely Can’t Go Wrong With Manikarnika

Multiple delays, major controversies and a lot of spotlight, Manikarnika has been one of the most talked projects in Bollywood for a while now. Directed by Jagarlamudi Krish, Manikarnika is the story of the famed queen Rani Laxmi Bai who is remembered for her spirit and exemplary courage.

While any period film is a big project for everyone related to the project, this time the spotlight is directly on Kangana Ranaut who is headlining the project in more ways than one.  Simply put, there is just too much on stake for Kangana. Here is why Kangana Ranaut absolutely can’t go wrong with Manikarnika.

The Tag Of Most Expensive Women-Centric Film

As if a lavish budget of 125 crores was not enough pressure, Manikarnika happens to be the most expensive women-centric film that Bollywood has ever come up with. It is no secret that Kangana is going to do the entire heavy-lifting in the film and thus if something goes wrong with the film she will forever bear the tag of the person who sank the ship for the most expensive women lead film in Bollywood.

Kangana Is Need Of A Hit…Desperately

There is no doubt that Kangana is a phenomenal actress, but one also needs the box-office on their side to be able to stay on top in Bollywood. Come to think of it, the last hit that Kangana delivered was Tanu Weds Manu Returns that came out in 2015. After that, I Love NY, Katti Batti, Rangoon and Simran have all been major disappointments at the box-office, which means Kangana is in dire need of a big hit to claim her position in the industry.

Her Credibility Is On Line

Ever since the project has been announced, she has been the one to headline the project. Actors like Sonu Sood and Swati Semwal left the project citing they displeasure about Kangana hijacking the project completely and reportedly director Krish Jagarlamudi also moved on to his next Telugu due to Kangana’s interference. In fact, in the trailer, Kangana has been credited as the director of the film. With all these factors, Kangana credibility is totally on line and she will suffer a serious loss of face if the project doesn’t do well.

Live Up To The Hype Of The Personality She Is Playing

With Manikarnika, Kangana is attempting to bring one of the most iconic and well-documented characters of Indian history alive on screen. Rani Laxmi Bai is one figure that everyone has read about and is immensely proud of. Also, because how well documented the character was, the makers would be literally lynched if they get even the small detail inaccurate. Kangana simply can’t go wrong while playing the character of this remarkable queen.
