In the meantime, the unit of 'Manikarnika' is currently re-shooting few scenes after actors like Sonu Sood and Swati Semwal decided to quit the project at the last moment. The team has been shooting under the direction of Kangana since film's director Krish Jagarlamudi got busy with another project. It has been reported that after Sood's exit from the project, the budget of 'Manikarnika' has shot up to Rs 100 crore from Rs 70 crore. What was initially thought to be a patchwork has expanded into a 45-day schedule. 


Amidst all this, it is also being speculated that director Krish Jagarlamudi had opted out of the film due to differences with Kangana and hence the actress decided to take over the direction of the film.


'Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi' is based on the life of the brave warrior queen Rani Laxmibai and her war against the British East India Company during the Indian Rebellion of 1857. The film is set to hit the screens on January 25 and clash with Hrithik Roshan's 'Super 30' and Emraan Hashmi's 'Cheat India'.
