A release date of
Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi hasn't been finalised till now. The film was initially slated for an April release. Now, the makers of Kangana's
Manikarnika have decided to release it between August and September. "We have mounted the movie on a scale that's hard to imagine. We don't want to clash or release too close to a film that can eat into our business. While we want to release the film between August and September, we haven't zeroed in on a date yet," producer Kamal Jain had told
mid-day. They are also working out on a possible
release date to avoid clash with Rajinikanth's 2.0. Kangana Ranaut is also the co-producer of
Manikarnika.
Pictures of Kangana from the sets of the film have been widely shared earlier.
TV actress Ankita Lokhande, Bengali actor Jisshu Sengupta and Sonu Sood are also part of Kangana Ranaut's
Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi.
