Every vote matters, says Kangana Ranaut
Amid the clash of heritage and stardom, the sprawling constituency, one of the toughest and covering almost two-thirds of the state, braces for a riveting electoral spectacle.
Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut is one of those actresses who are known for speaking their mind. The actress has managed to be blunt about everything including the #MeToo movement.
Currently, the actress is busy promoting her project Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi. In an interview with News18, she spoke about her position in the entertainment industry and also about her contemporaries such as Deepika Padukone, Alia Bhatt and others.
Kangana was asked whether she feels threatened by other tinsel town actresses.

She said, “I don’t feel so threatened by anyone around. You know like you see I will praise Alia or I would praise Anushka or I would praise everyone. I never shied away from going to Deepika’s Piku trial. Everyone I have praised in my capacity. Sonakshi’s Lootera I saw and the whole year I praised her. I don’t get threatened. Why don’t I see same sort of…why is everyone like, ‘Oh, oh, oh she doesn’t exist?’ Why is that going on? I exist. My film has crossed millions and millions of views and it is one of the most promising films of this year. So when they pretend I don’t exist…nobody ever talks about my teasers or trailers.”
When asked if she feels like an island, Kangana replied, “It is not about being an island. You see other film industry also, you don’t have to come out of each other’s ass but people exist.”

“When I saw Raazi, I praised it. I didn’t think who’s in the film. It is a film. That is it. It doesn’t belong to an individual; it belongs to society. I don’t see a film and think, ‘Oh, this person’s film so maybe I shouldn’t look at that side’ or something like that. I don’t feel like that,” she said.
Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi is a film that captures the life story of Rani Laxmibai. Directed by Radha Krishna Jagarlamudi and Kangana Ranaut, the film also stars Danny Denzongpa, Ankita Lokhande, and Atul Kulkarni.
Helmed by Zee Studios and Kamal Jain, the film is slated to release on 25 January 2019.
