Several months ago,
a sketch of Kangana as Rani Laxmibai, was shared widely on social media by fan clubs of the actress.
In July,
Kangana got severely injured while shooting for a sword-fight scene for
Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi. She got 15 stitches on her forehead and was under medical supervision for a few days. "I am a bit embarrassed to be thrilled to have a battle scar on my face. Also, people from my team have been telling me that it's like that Peshwa
teeka that Manikarnika wore. It's a bit dramatic but I am excited that my face was covered in blood and I got a genuine and authentic glimpse of the Queen's life," she told news agency PTI.
Kangana Ranaut has trained herself extensively in horse-riding and sword-fighting for the film.
Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi also stars television actress Ankita Lokhande. It is scheduled to hit the screens next year in April.
