KANGANA RANAUT'S MANIKARNIKA TO RELEASE ON AUGUST 3

There have been speculations regarding the release of Kangana Ranaut starrer Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi. Earlier the historical drama was slated to hit the screens on April 27, but now the movie has been postponed and will release on August 3. There were reports that the movie is being delayed due to the extensive work on VFX, but a source of a leading daily denies it.

According to the source of a leading daily, “Everything is going on track. Shooting is currently on in Alsisar, Rajasthan. They will complete it today and tomorrow onwards, filming will start in Bikaner where it will continue until the end of this month. With this, the movie’s shoot will also be wrapped up. There is ample time for post-production. They could have released the film on April 27, but they decided to come in August because it is the month of our Independence. Rani Lakshmibai’s battle against the Britishers was the first fight for freedom, so looking at the emotion, the call was taken to release it in August”.

The movie has been recently opposed by Brahmin group for distorting facts. They have provided the producers 3 day notice period before they start the violent protest. The movie also stars Atul Kulkarni as Tatya Tope and Sonu Sood as Sadashiv.
