Nawazuddin’s ‘Thackeray’ or Kangana’s ‘Manikarnika’- Which film will you watch this Friday?

This year we are going to witness several biopics. This Friday that is on January 25, two major biopics are getting released. One is Nawazuddin Siddiqui starrer ‘Thackeray’ and other is the historical biopic ‘Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi’. The latter has Kangana Ranaut as the main lead.

‘Manikarnika’ will revolve around the story of Rani Laxmibai and it will show her journey as a daughter, wife, mother, queen and the warrior who fought against the British East India Company. After director Krish’s exit from the movie, Kangana took over the reins of the film. The movie is produced by Zee Studios in association with Kamal Jain and Nishant Pitti. The film got embroiled in several controversies right from the beginning. From Karni Sena allegedly protesting against it, Kangana taking the director’s chair to Sonu Sood quitting it, the movie has been in news for several reasons. The magnum opus also stars Atul Kulkarni, Suresh Oberoi, Danny Denzongpa, Jisshu Sengupta, and Ankita Lokhande in significant roles.

Whereas ‘Thackeray’ on the other hand is the biopic on late Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thackeray. Nawazuddin Siddiqui will be playing the character of Balasaheb Thackeray. Nawaz has gone extra miles to get into the skin of the character. The biopic will show the leadership and speeches of Bal Thackeray and his alleged involvement in the 1993 Bombay Riots. It also stars Amrita Rao who is playing Nawaz’s wife, Meenatai. Directed by Abhijit Panse, the film is releasing in both Marathi and Hindi.
