Krish's 'Manikarnika', a biopic on Rani Laxmibai, stars Kangana Ranaut in the titular role. Its First Look is out.

"Every country has a hero, every legend has a legacy, the symbol of Indian women, the hero of our Independence. The warrior, the Queen of Jhansi," the makers have said, releasing Kangana's fiery look.

Atul Kulkarni of 'Rang De Basanti' fame has a key role in the movie. He will be seen in the role of Tantya Tope, the Jhansi warrior-queen's trusted and brave ally. Since Krish has listened to many folk accounts of Laxmibai, expect the film to tell interesting, unheard of sub-plots about the warrior queen.

Written by the very sensational script-writer Vijayendra Prasad, it will hit the screens on January 25, 2018.
