Kangana Ranaut starrer period film ‘Manikarnika – The Queen of Jhansi‘ is all set to hit the theaters soon and the makers too are leaving no stone unturned to raise the excitement level to a new high. Recently they had unveiled the first look of Ankita Lokhande as Jhalkari Bai.

Now the makers of ‘Manikarnika – The Queen of Jhansi’ have unveiled the first look of Danny Denzongpa who plays the role of Ghulam Ghaus Khan.

The veteran actor is seen dressed in a black pathani kurta salwar with a turban and a leather vest, looking fierce mounted on a horse amid the chaos in the city. This look of Danny reminded us of his ‘Khuda Gawah’ character.

Ghulam Ghaus Khan was an Indian freedom fighter belonging to the Khatar Khan family. He was a senapati to Rani Laxmi Bai and was not only the main cannon fighter in her army, but also a father figure and an advisor to Jhansi ki Rani.

Kamal Jain, who is producing the film said to DNA, “Danny was our first choice for the part of Ghaus Khan. We didn’t even need to approach anyone else. He suits the character perfectly and has given a fabulous performance.”

The film also stars Atul Kulkarni as Tatya Tope and Suresh Oberoi as Bajirao. Produced by Zee Studios in association with Kamal Jain and Nishant Pitti. The film is scheduled to be released on January 25.
