Kangana Ranaut all praise for Raazi: Alia is the undisputed queen
Kangana Ranaut watched Alia Bhatt’s Raazi. The actor is impressed with Alia’s act and said she would soon send congratulatory messages to director Meghna Gulzar. Actor Kangana Ranaut, who is busy shooting for Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi on Monday confirmed that the film will release this year. She made the announcement while interacting with media after stepping out of a suburban multiplex after watching Alia Bhatt starrer Raazi on Monday in Mumbai. There was quite a buzz about the release date the film with some reports saying it was set to hit theatre screens in April this year but now the release date of the period drama has been pushed further. On the delay in its release, Kangana said: “If you see, we started shooting of Manikarnika… in the month of May last year and now it’s been only one year since we started shooting. “We launched the film in Varanasi on May 5 and we started shooting for it in June-July last year. I think when you make a film on huge scale, then it normally takes one or one and half year but I can say that this year we will be able to release the film.”
Praising Raazi, Kangana said: “I really liked Raazi. It was awesome. Meghna (Gulzar) did a splendid job with the film. I have no words to express performance of Alia (Bhatt) in the film. She is so good in the film. Meghna and Alia invited me on the trial of their film but I couldn’t attend it because I was busy shooting for my film, then I promised them that I will watch the film soon. I am going to send Alia a congratulatory message for her film. I think Alia is most definitely undisputed queen. Its Alia’s world and we are just living in it.” Asked if her Manikarnika… will create the same magic onscreen, Kangana said: “When I watch another actor’s work, I don’t compare my film with the film that I am watching and when I watch a film then, I only think about that actor. This film’s cast and crew deserves all the credit for the success of the film.”
