Be it starring in grandeur films like Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi where she fought for the freedom of our nation or playing a simple homebred girl like Rani in Queen, who dares to go on a solo-trip to Europe just because it was her dream, Kangana Ranaut has never shied away from playing off-beat characters. The actress is currently gearing up for the release of her next, Judgementall Hai Kya, opposite Rajkummar Rao and before the film's release, Kangana announced her next project, an action-entertainmer titled Dhaakad.
Just recently, the teaser poster was released, where her silhouette is seen holding guns and looking like a complete warrior. Now, the makers of the film have released the first poster of the film, where Kangana is seen in a combat mode. It was shared on Instagram with a caption, "She is fiesty, she is fierce and is ready to set all guns ablaze! On Diwali 2020, brace yourself for the biggest action entertainer." Check out:
Meanwhile, when asked about making a female-led action film, director Razy Ghai said, “There is a big void when it comes to female-oriented action films. I haven't heard of a lead heroine in an out-and-out action entertainer in a contemporary space. That's why we wanted to explore this genre.” Speaking on working with Kangana in one of a kind project, Razy added, “She is an intelligent actor who understood that there is an opportunity to attempt something completely different. We are constantly having brainstorming sessions with her, and her ideas have further elevated the film. I'm not a fan of gravity-defying action sequences, so we will show realistic action. Since the film has many action set-pieces, we are looking at stunt coordinators with different skill sets. We have already met action directors from Hong Kong and Thailand for the Gun Fu [a mix of guns and martial arts] sequence."
Slated to release on Diwali 2020, Dhaakad is mounted to be the biggest action entertainer of the year. It will reportedly be shot in Thailand, pockets of Europe, mainly Budapest and Prague, and in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. One schedule of the film will be shot in North India and the details will be worked out once Kangana finishes work on Panga. Produced by Sohail Maklai productions and Asylum films, Dhaakad is set to go on floors by early 2020.
