Rani Laxmibai was the hero, I'm the badass, quipps Kangana Ranaut

Kangana Ranaut released the poster of her upcoming movie Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi. The film is a biopic on Rani Laxmi Bai. On asked why he thought Kangana was the perfect choice to play Rani Laxmi Bai, he said, "She's a queen by nature. She's independent. She's the perfect fit. We can't pick anyone else."

Prasoon Joshi, the dialogues writer added, "I consider Kangana Ranaut the most versatile actress we have today. She can do any role in my mind. But having said that this is the role in my humble opinion, which comes closest to what she is. She has a streak of a rebel."

Kangana on being touted said, "Ofcourse I agree. I agree that I am rebellious. But, she (Rani of Jhansi) was a rebel with a cause. (laughs) That makes her a hero. I rebel because my instincts won't make you a hero so that makes me a badass. She's the hero, I'm the badass."

On a name to her biopic, she said, "I personally feel I have a long way to go. I feel that I still haven't got into the field that I actually feel very passionate about, which is filmmaking. So, I as an individual feel that I will be known as a filmmaker, not as an actor. So I still have to get into that. So I haven't started what I actually passionately feel about. So then I will choose a name."
