Kangana Ranaut’s Manikarnika movie release Postponed?

Bollywood reports say that Kangana Ranaut’s upcoming historic movie Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi will not be releasing in April and it will release only in June. Kangana Ranaut’s fans, who have eagerly been waiting to see her as the Rani of Jhansi in the period drama Manikarnika, may have to wait just a little longer. 

While the actress has rigorously been shooting for the movie, the release has been postponed. Manikarnika will now hit the screens only in June this year, instead of April, as was originally planned. Says a source close to the film, “Kangana is in Himachal Pradesh these days, spending some quality time with her family. She will resume work soon, but the VFX on the film is going to take a bit longer. So now the film will release only in June, or maybe even July.”Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi is being directed by Krish, and will be Kangana’s first movie as a producer. 

Kangana has been rigorously shooting for the film and was recently in Jodhpur, where she hurt her foot while shooting for intense fight sequences.Recently, there were rumours of Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi being shelved due to budget constraints. Also, that the team was considering pushing the release and stalling the film’s shoot for some months. But then that official release date of April 27, 2018 was announced. But now it has been changed. 

The movie will also star television actress Ankita Lokhande. And despite the fact that her last outings — Simran and Rangoon — failed at the box office, there are a lot of expectations riding on Kangana for this one. The movie is about the life of Rani Laxmibai of Jhansi and her war against the British East India Company, during the Indian Rebellion of 1857.
