If promos were any indications, Kangana Ranaut, the heroine of 'Gangster - A Love Story', was always a star in the making. To top it all, everyone from Mahesh Bhatt to Mukesh Bhatt to Anurag Basu never got tired of appreciating her superb acting skills.

Though to few, it seems like yet another publicity gimmick from the house of Bhatts, those who had seen rushes of the film were quite sure that she is THE future star in the making.

The thought has finally become reality with the release of GANGSTER!

Inspite of Shiney Ahuja's intense presence and Emraan Hashmi's popularity amongst the young crowds, Kangana has still managed to stand tall and create a huge impression in her very first outing.

Playing a complex role that required her to demonstrate various shades in her character; she has done a great job and delivered as a pro. No wonder the pretty girl [who looks much more mature and intelligent than her age] has been unanimously acclaimed all over.

With 'Woh Lamhe' to follow, expect yet another intense outing for Kangana.
