Will ‘’Rani Lakshmi Bai’’ mark the end of Kangana Ranaut’s acting career?

The 30-year-old actress, Kangana Ranaut is all ready to be seen in a completely new action avatar as she will feature in Ketan Mehta’s upcoming movie titled ‘’Rani Lakshmi Bai’’ which is based on the life of Jhansi Ki Rani. Kangana said that this movie might be the “climax in her acting career.”

The ‘‘Queen’’ star will appear as a strong-headed warrior on the big screen since she is portraying the role of the uncompromising Rani Lakshmi Bai, one of the leaders of the first Indian war of independence in 1857. She seems to be very enthusiastic regarding this approaching project and is not prepared to compromise a bit. Therefore, all her time has been committed to it.

"A film like this gets made only once, no one is going to make it again. Since it's come to us, we have to do complete justice to it. I can't hope to go beyond this script. This film could well be the climax of my acting career. So I am going to give it the time it deserves," Kangana told Mumbai Mirror.

Ketan Mehta, the director who has last teamed up with Nawazuddin Siddiqui starrer “Manji-The Mountain Man” told PTI, “Kangana will be seen in a new look in the film. It is a historical character and she will undergo a lot of training in sword-fighting and horse-riding.” He also added that he is excited to start working with the ‘’Katti Batti” actress.

Kangana plans to perfectly master the skills and tactics needed for the movie before the shooting of the movie begins. "We have workshops to rehearse lines before the shoot. I also want to do workshops to learn hand-to-hand combats, how to ride in a sari, with a baby tied to my back, fighting with two swords and holding the reins in my mouth. Nothing should look fake or forced which is why I haven't set a time limit for when the film rolls. I want the script to come alive as beautifully and fiercely on screen," she said.

“Rani Lakshmi Bai” has still got time to roll and apparently, will take some time to hit the screens. Meanwhile, Kangana is expected to act in her another upcoming movie “Rangoon” which is headed by the “Haider” Director, Vishal Bhardwaj. Also, Shahid Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan will feature in this film. The movie is set in the backdrop of World War II where Kangana would be seen as a yesteryear actress.
