Ahead of the release of Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi, skeptics questioned if Kangana Ranaut would be able to shoulder the dual responsibility of acting in and helming the period drama. However, the actor has silenced her naysayers - her directorial debut collected Rs 42.55 crore over the first weekend, thus registering the highest opening weekend collections for a woman-centric film. With this, Ranaut has broken her own record - Tanu Weds Manu Returns (2015) held the distinction until now.
