Mumbai: Filmmaker Ketan Mehta says Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut will be seen in a completely new avatar as a strong-headed warrior in his movie “Rani Lakshmi Bai”.
The “Queen” actress will play the titular role in the film based on the Rani of Jhansi, one of the leaders of the first Indian war of independence in 1857. “Kangana will be seen in a new look in the film. It is a historical character and she will undergo lot of training in sword-fighting and horse-riding,” Mehta said.
The director, who last helmed Nawazuddin Siddiqui-starrer “Manji-The Mountain Man”, said he is excited to team up with the “Katti Batti” actress. “The pre-production is on. I am very excited to work with her. She is an exciting actress and I am sure the project will turn out nice,” he said.
Mehta recently also filmed a short movie “Toba Tek Singh”, starring Pankaj Kapur and Vinay Pathak. The film, as part of “Zeal for Unity” initiative, is based on the political satire written by famous Urdu writer Saddat Hasan Manto. PTI
