Kangana Ranaut as Rani Laxmibai

Atul Kulkarni as Tatya Tope
Tatya Tope was like a brother to Rani Laxmibai. They both grew up together honing their skills of sword fighting. Kulkarni looks fierce as Tatya Tope. His face is calm yet determined.
Ankita Lokhande as Jhalkari Bai
Jhalkari was a female soldier in Rani Laxmibai's army. She is one of the unsung heroes in the war of freedom and in this film, Ankita will be bringing her alive on screen.
Danny Denzongpa as Ghulam Ghaus Khan
Dressed in a dark pathani kurta salwar with a turban and a leather vest, Danny can be seen mounted on a horse amid chaos in the city.
“I am proud of this film, and of portraying a character who empowers and inspires. We have put in our heart, blood and sweat into making this film. Manikarnika will make every Indian proud,” Kangana had earlier said in a statement about the film.
It may be recalled that twice last year, Kangana was in the news, first when she injured herself during filming in Hyderabad and in Rajasthan, and later, the film was mired in controversy after its director Krish left the project midway and Kangana took over the reins. It was speculated that the she had hijacked the film, a claim rubbished by the film’s producer, which incidentally was also the reason why actor Sonu Sood quit the film.
Directed by Krish, the film stars Kangana Ranaut, Jishu Sengupta, Suresh Oberoi, Danny Denzongappa, Atul Kulkarni, Ankita Lokhande and Zeeshan Ayub among others. The film is written by the writers of Baahubali and Bhaag Milkha Bhaag.
