TIL Desk Bollywood/ Acclaimed filmmaker Ketan Mehta on Thursday said he has sent a legal notice to actress Kangana Ranaut for conniving with producer Kamal Jain and others to hijack Rani of Jhansi – The Warrior Queen, his most ambitious film project.
According to Mehta, he had approached Kangana to play the role of Rani Lakshmibai of Jhansi in his film in June 2015. The actress had publicly committed to doing the project with him in 2015 but later she announced another film titled “Manikarnika – the Queen of Jhansi” with another producer and director.
“Yes it is true. We have sent a notice to Kangana as I think there is an attempt of hijacking a film.” “I had approached her in June 2015 regarding this project and she had readily agreed to do it and enough statements have been made by her showing the commitment about the project,” Mehta said.
