“Krish wanted to complete ‘Manikarnika’ patchwork, but wasn’t welcomed,” says Mishti Chakravarty

‘Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi’ has got embroiled in a series of controversies since its release. The Kangana Ranaut starrer magnum opus during its making, faced lots of hurdles and was in the news for all the wrong reasons. The co-director of the film Krish has blasted Kangana Ranaut and called her ‘rude’ and a difficult person to work with.

Now, we have another entrant joining in this row and her name is ‘Manikarnika’ actress Mishti Chakravarty. In an interview with The Indian Express, Mishti totally backed Krish and said that he was treated rather poorly. Mishti, who plays Kashi Bai in ‘Manikarnika’, said everyone who worked on the film, knows that Krish completed the whole film.

Mishti said, “He was supposed to speak up only one or two weeks after the film’s release. The truth, which I know and I believe 90 percent people know, is that the director completed the film. I was there till the end in the movie, so I know who shot how much.”

She further added, “The whole film was completed and then he told Kangana and producers that he needed to shoot a film in South, which was NTR biopic. Krish said that after he is done with the shooting, he would come back for patchwork. He wanted to come back and complete the patchwork, but till then it was decided here that the film would be presented in a different way and which character would do what. He wasn’t welcomed back. He wanted to come back, but he wasn’t welcome on sets.”

Mishti was also not amused by her character being marginalised and not given its full due. On the contrary, ‘Manikarnika’s producer Kamal Jain has wholeheartedly supported Kangana and rubbished Krish’s allegations.
