Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi carried huge expectations during its launch. The film got enormous craze after director Krish and Bollywood beauty Kangana Ranaut stepped in. However as time progressed, the film landed into a series of controversies which left the makers in pain. The makers planned the film on a budget of Rs 60 crores but now the film’s budget crossed Rs 125 crores.
Krish walked out of the film after he turned busy with NTR. Kangana is reportedly directing the movie currently. It was ten days patch work left but Kangana has been shooting for the film from the past 45 days. Kangana felt that some of the episodes related to Rani Laxmibhai’s marriage and about her first child have not been narrated well. With Sonu Sood’s exit, all those episodes too are being canned again.
The makers with nothing much to do are spending as per the request to wrap up the shoot first. Manikarnika has been announced for January 25th 2019 release and will have enough dose of VFX work. The film will release in Hindi, Telugu and Tamil languages.
