Kangana Ranaut is a busy-bee. Not only does she have a few exciting projects coming right up, but she is also busy shooting for 'Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi' and will start shooting for 'Mental Hai Kya' once she is done with 'Manikarnika'. About the film, she told a leading daily, “You’re never sure if this girl is hallucinating or what’s happening to her is for real, whether the guy (Rajkummar Rao) is trying to trap her or she’s got him wrong.”
Talking about Rajkummar, she said, “He is a star today while still being a brilliant actor, so I will have to be on my toes to ensure he doesn’t steal the show from right under my nose." Kangana is also deeply saddened on hearing the news about the passing away of the legendary actress, Sridevi. On this, she said, “I was her fan since I saw a tubelight ad of hers as a child and wanted to break the TV screen to bring her into our home. When I’d dress up for cultural shows, my great grandmother would fondly call me Sridevi. Years later, when I returned home exhausted after a long day, I’d watch her Charlie Chaplin sequence and the ‘Kaatey Nahin Katate’ song from 'Mr. India' and marvel that it was the same woman in both. She was such a childlike soul whose loss I feel deeply.”
Kangana also visited Boney Kapoor to offer her condolences.
