As she launches poster of Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi, Kangana Ranaut says women need to imbibe warrior queen's courage to survive today

Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi
Given the protagonist's courageous streak, it is not surprising when Kangana Ranaut says that the role of Rani Laxmibai is one she holds closest to her heart. The makers released the poster of Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi today to honour the warrior queen who was part of India's freedom struggle. Talking to mid-day about her muse in the Krish-directed biopic, Ranaut points out that despite generations separating them, Rani Laxmibai's story remains relevant to women of today.
"The Queen of Jhansi is a symbol of strength and courage. Even today if we want to refer to someone as fierce, we say she is like Jhansi ki Rani. I believe her story is a blockbuster with or without any cinematic interpretation. A woman like her doesn't need any validation, and will be remembered for years to come."
