Kangana Ranaut: They are incredible actors. They are amazing with Vishal Bhardwaj sir (director) and he has given them wonderful characters in the films that he did with them
Kangana Ranaut is one Bollywood actress who is known not to mince her words, she has always voiced her opinions and concerns out in public. The actress has never refrained from making comments irrespective of its nature. Be it her personal life, or be it even professional, the actress has spoken about it all in public.

And so, when the actress was asked to comment on working with Shahid Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan in 'Rangoon', Kangana opened up about the same at full length. Kangana said, "They are incredible actors. They are amazing with Vishal Bhardwaj sir (director) and he has given them wonderful characters in the films that he did with them. They are both very special, very natural and spontaneous. I feel fortunate to be working with great actors like them. I liked Saif as Langda Tyagi in 'Omkara' and Shahid was incredible in 'Haider'. They (Bhardwaj and Saif and Vishal and Shahid) have great tuning and they had the same energy for this film ('Rangoon')."

Praising the filmmaker, Kangana further added, "He has the courage to take on subjects which are different like Rangoon is a love story in the backdrop of world war II. It is a very courageous move and not many filmmakers will present a love story in the rugged and rustic backdrop of war. He has that undying desire to push the envelope and go beyond what people expect from him."

Not only did she talk about her experience of working with the cast, she also spoke about her role in the film. Kangana revealed, "She (Fearless Nadia) is a stuntwoman and it's an amalgamation of many characters in the film. I am known to speak my mind and to say things that I stand for is right. That sort of conviction and identity was important for the role. I feel this character has landed in my lap because I signify that part (fearless) in today's contemporary actresses that we have today."

Kangana will seductress play Miss Julia, whereas Shahid will be seen portraying an Indian troop leader Nawab Malik. Adding onto the cast is Saif's character who is a filmmaker named Rusi Billimoria. 'Rangoon' is a love triangle between Shahid, Kangana, and Saif, and the film will hit theatres on February 24.
