OMG! Kangana Ranaut-starrer Rani Lakshmi Bai biopic might be shelved

Kangana Ranaut was all set to star in Rani Lakshmi Bai’s biopic which was going to be directed by Ketan Mehta. However, the film has hit a roadblock.

Reportedly, the film might never go on floors thanks to its high budget. The makers are finding it difficult to get a big studio on board to back the film. So, as there is no one to finance the movie, it is impossible for the makers to start the shoot of the film.

Kangana was very keen to star in the film. The actress was all set to start the shooting of the Ketan Mehta directorial, after wrapping up Hansal Mehta’s ‘Simran’.

Apparently, the makers of the film had also approached Hollywood actor Hugh Grant to play the role of General Hugh Rose. However, casting a Hollywood actor requires a whopping amount.

Few years ago, Sushmita Sen had also announced that she will be making a film on Rani Lakshmi Bai, but then later the film was shelved. We wonder if the same thing will happen with the Kangana-starrer.
