Kangana Ranaut is one of the finest actresses we have in the Bollywood industry and no one can question that thought. The actress has always picked up roles that are challenging and justified with the character until the end. Debuted with ‘Gangster’ along with Emraan Hashmi and Shiney Ahuja, Kangana’s original curls and spectacular acting on-screen were enough to make the audience remember her.
She rose to stardom with her movie ‘Queen’ opposite Rajkumar Rao, which is one of the finest, and most admired movies of all time. Kangana is not only known for her acting skills but her bold attitude too. This fierce diva isn’t afraid of anyone in the industry. She didn’t fear to call out Karan Johar the flag bearer of nepotism on his show “Koffee With Karan’’, to calling out on Hritik Roshan for misleading her into a relationship. * Kangana and Hritik are a separate topic to discuss on*
She has single-handedly shunned the Bollywood stereotypes with her choices of movies and her witty interviews. The fearless attitude of Kangana Ranaut is lauded by her fans and some of the Bollywood celebrities.
Recently, her new upcoming movie “Panga’s’’ trailer was launched. Ashwiny Iyer has directed the movie and it stars Jassie Gill, Richa Chadha, and Neena Gupta. The movie is based on a Kabaddi Champion who makes a shinning comeback at the age of 32. The National Level Kabaddi Champion tries to find a balance between her passion for her sport and her love for her family. The trailer was well received by the audience and crossed 44 million views in 24 hours.
Talking about picking a sports-drama movie, Kangana mentioned that she was never interested in playing sports while she was growing up so, for this role, she had to prepare a lot. Along with sports, the actress also had to learn and work to get into a mother’s world as her character’s career slumps down after she gives birth.
Movie stars Richa Chadha who as an individual is a power-packed actor and makes her presence feel onscreen. She was last seen in Amazon Prime Original series Inside Edge 2 where she portrayed a character of Zarina Malik. Talking about the equation between such strong actresses, Kangana mentioned, ‘Both of us have different political ideologies. That doesn’t mean we can’t talk about other things. We discussed different teas and diets. We had a great time on set.”
During a press conference, Kangana Ranaut opened about ageism and sexism in Bollywood. She has always taken a stand for what she has felt is the right side. The actress’s success is self-made and she doesn’t want anyone else to tell her when to quit. The actress mentioned, “When I came to the industry, I felt frightened seeing the way female actors were treated. I would never want to feel that somebody has to decide and declare my destiny. We’re working hard as much as our male counterparts, yet, at 28 or 29, women are issued a suspension letter, stating, ‘This profession is not very kind to the fine lines in your face,'”
She revealed the problems an actress has to face starting from wrinkles, grey hair or her intelligence. Kangana is firm that she would not like anyone else decide her fate in the industry and won’t let her gender decide her job. ‘‘I would like to leave this profession on my terms, not because my wrinkles are frowned upon,” the actress added.
While prepping for the role of a mother in Panga, Kangana pictured her mother as her inspiration and dedicated her performance to her mother Asha Ranaut. Rangoli asked her sister that how come she knows all the emotions and conflicts of a mother so well, to which the actress replied that to know a mother, you don’t have to be a mother but be a child. Panga is set to release on 24th January 2020 clashing the movie with Varun Dhawan and Shraddha Kapoor’s Street Dancer 3.
Kangana’s sister Rangoli Chandel who is very active on social media and in news always for taking digs at the actors shared some of the insides from Kangana’s favorites of 2019. Rangoli tweeted that the actress feels that Bhumi Pednekar is one of the under-rated actresses in the Bollywood. Along with Bhumi, Kangana also praised Mrunal Thakur, Radhika Madan, Siddhant Chaturvedi, Ranveer Singh and Vicky Kaushal for their successful movies in 2019.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Kangana is currently prepping up for Panga. Post Panga, Kangana’s upcoming and much-talked biopic, ‘Thalaivi’. The actress will be seen essaying the role of late actress-politician J Jayalalitha in the movie. Her first look for the film and BTS pictures from the movie has already impressed the audience and the critics alike.
