KANGANA RANAUT TO PLAY A NAUTCH GIRL
Actress Kangana Ranaut has been roped in for author and historian Vishwas Patil’s directorial venture, Rajjo, where she plays a nautch girl. The director, who has been honoured with the Sahitya Akademi National Award, Priyadarshini National Award and Bhartiya Bhasha Parishad Award, will portray the changing scenario of Mumbai in his film.
Patil, who was looking for a good performer with a regal appeal, says, “There is no doubt that Kangana is a talent to reckon with. However, what appealed to me more was that she has a strong Indianness to her that hasn’t been explored enough. The film looks into the issue of the mujra houses that are dying a slow death.”
On playing a character different from what she has done till date, Kangana says, “When I heard the script, I immediately knew that I wanted to be part of it. People will identify with Rajjo’s character and empathise with her struggle.” The film also stars Mahesh Manjrekar in the role of a eunuch and Prakash Raj as a politician.
Rajjo, produced by Four Pillars Entertainment, is scheduled for release in 2013.
