MUMBAI – Bollywood diva Kangana Ranaut, who made her directorial debut with Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi, will now helm her own life’s story.
In a news statement, the Queen star said, “Yes, it is true. My own story is the subject of my next directorial. But it is not a propaganda film with characters who are starkly black and white, rather it is a sincere, heartfelt account of my journey so far with plenty of lighter moments. I am emboldened by the love of the people around me, who have never judged me but accepted me for who I am.”

“Around 12 weeks ago, he (KV Vijayendra) urged me to let him write a film based on my life. I was nervous and wary initially, but then, given his stature and the fact that I trust him implicitly, I gave Vijayendra sir the go-ahead to the project.”
“How can I show my journey without people,” said the Fashion movie star. “I can’t be walking alone. But we will not be taking any names. The idea is to protect me and my life with all its highs and lows. In the end, it is the story of an achiever, a girl from the mountains who came into Bollywood without any connections in the industry or even a godfather, and went on to carve a niche for herself against all odds.”
Kangana also revealed that it wasn’t her idea to go for a biopic, KV Vijayendra of Bahubaali fame is the mind behind the project. Ranaut is also upset with Alia Bhatt, who she had invited for a special screening of Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi, but the latter couldn’t make it.
Following which, Kangana blasted her in the media and called her Karan Johar’s puppet. Meanwhile, Manikarnika, which cost Rs 125 crore to make (reportedly), has made close to Rs 100 crore so far.
