I'm Sure Kangana Will Make Mark As Director: Ankita Lokhande

IANS, 29 Jan, 2019 10:09 PM

    Actress Ankita Lokhande, who has ventured into Bollywood with "Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi", has heaped praise on Kangana Ranaut's ability as a director and is sure she will also make a mark as a filmmaker.


    "Manikarnika...", which released last week, tells the story of Rani Lakshmibai, one of the key leaders in the First War of Indian Independence in 1857. The film is co-directed by Kangana and Radha Krishna Jagarlamudi.


    Asked how Kangana was as a director, Ankita told IANS here: "As a director, she was fantastic. It was her debut as a director and she was directing a debutante. So, it was good."


    Ankita, who essays the role of Jhalkari Bai in the film, says Kangana is super talented.


    "She has been disciplined and very talented at whatever she has done. I wish her all the best for everything she does in her life and I just know one thing...whatever she has done till now, she has made her own mark. I am sure she will make a mark for herself as a director too," she said.
