Producer Kamal Jain talks about Kangana Ranaut’s dedication for ‘Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi’

With the first teaser promo for ‘Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi’, which released last month, garnering positive reviews, the makers are confident that the film will strike a chord with viewers. The magnum opus, whose direction was taken over by Kangana Ranaut, who also plays the lead role, is currently in the crucial post-production stage. With a lot of VFX work being used, audiences can expect a visual treat.
In a recent interview, the film’s producer, Kamal Jain said that since the film is mounted on such a lavish scale, audiences will not only get to see superb VFX effects but also real locations in Jodhpur and Mehrangarh Fort where important scenes have been shot. The action sequences also, said Jain, are as good as what is seen in Hollywood. An expert VFX team is currently working hard to ensure that every tiny detail is being taken care of.
He added that this will be one of the first times where one will see a woman warrior fight in such a way on Indian screens. Praising Kangana for doing all the action scenes herself under the guidance of Nick Powell, Jain said that the end results have turned out really great. He also revealed that while certain male stars avoid doing difficult stunts themselves, Kangana was ready to ride horses and do all the sword scenes by herself.
When the film’s original director, Krish was unable to reshoot certain portions and patchwork scenes, it was Kangana who stepped in and took over. Praising the actress for her steadfast dedication to the project, Jain said that she was deeply attached to the film, and worked very hard on the mega project.
