Kangana Ranaut expresses desire to make movie on Chandragupta Maurya

India TV News  

Kangana Ranaut has expressed her desire to make a movie on Chandragupta, the shepherd-turned-emperor who founded the Maurya dynasty, noting that the film industry has "not done enough justice to our history". Ranaut, who won acclaim for portraying Rani Laxmibai- the valiant queen of Jhansi who took on the British during the revolt of 1857 -- in 'Manikarnika', when asked if she would like to be associated with a film on any historical figure from Bihar, said, "It would be Chandragupta Maurya. The Himachal Pradesh-born actress, who has courted controversy for taking on well-entrenched Bollywood "insiders" like Karan Johar and Hrithik Roshan, said she has had a rebellious streak since childhood and shared an anecdote about her breaking her teacher's stick upon being hit for chatting with a classmate in school. When Kishan asked why she has gained so much weight, Ranaut replied it was in preparation for her upcoming biopic"Thalaivi", based on late Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa.
