As reports of Kangana Ranaut's Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi faring well at the BO emerged, news of former director Krish Jagarlamudi asserting that the actor had only helmed a small portion of the film, hit headlines too.

Trade expert Amod Mehra says, "Manikarnika started with a lukewarm response, but witnessed a jump of more than 100 per cent on Saturday and maintained the momentum on Sunday. One ought to give credit to Kangana for making such a bold attempt and being successful at it."
