Kangana Ranaut’s directorial debut Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi, in which the actor also plays the title role is set for a Republic Day weekend release. But the bad news is that its producer Kamal Jain is in a critical condition after suffering a paralytic stroke.
As per reports, the producer is on ventilator currently. Jain had tweeted on Saturday, about his condition, saying, “Dear friends, this certainly is not the best time to be in hospital. Hope to get well soon and enjoy the success of our collective dream & hardwork. My best wishes to all,” (sic).
Manikarnika has already been in the midst of several controversies. Yet, the film was managed to be completed. Kangana plays the lead role of Rani Laxmibai and the film is scheduled to release on January 25. Kamal co-produced the film with Zee Studios and Kairos Kontent Studios.
