After director Krish abandoned Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi, Kangana Ranaut had to take up reins of direction on her hands and reshoot several portions of the period drama. Krish left the project mid way to work on the South movie - the NTR biopic. Kangana has been working tirelessly for the war saga and completed shoot recently. But that is not the end of it all as a similar issue has cropped up during the film's post production.
While Kangana has worked night and day to finish the shoot of the movie it still needs to be edited. However, Krish has told the makers he won't be available to do the same. Says a source close to the development, "Krish called up the producers of Manikarnika and informed them that he won't be able to sit for the post-prod work on the film. He is busy finishing his South project which is being planned as a two-parter. It's become more of an ego tussle now with him releasing the second part of the NTR biopic on the same day as Manikarnika."
