    Will Ruin Career Prospects, Maharashtra Karni Sena Warns Kangana Ranaut

    The Maharashtra Karni Sena on Saturday warned Manikarnika actor Kangana Ranaut that if she continues to voice dissent against the outfit, they would ruin her career prospects and burn her film sets. This came a day after Kangana issued a statement saying that she will destroy the Karni Sena if they continue to harass her over the release of Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi.

    Reflecting on Kangana’s statement, Ajay Singh Sengar, president of Maharashtra Karni Sena said, “If she continues to threaten the members of our outfit, we will not let her walk freely in Maharashtra and will burn her film sets.” He also claimed that if the film, in any way, insults the queen of Jhansi, the Hindu society will not forgive her.

    Earlier this week, the outfit had written to producers, director and the writers of Manikarnika that if the image of Rani Laxmibai is maligned in the film or if she is shown to be the lover of some British national, the makers will have to “face consequences.”

    The Kangana Ranaut-starrer Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi is one of the most highly anticipated films of 2019. The period drama is based on the life and struggles of Rani Laxmi Bai of Jhansi and her war against the British East India Company, during the Indian Rebellion of 1857. The film is slated to hit the big screens on January 25.
