The teaser of the period drama was unveiled a couple of days ago, which received a roaring response from the audience.

Today marks the 190th birth anniversary of the fearless freedom and Ranaut used to occasion to share an important message with all Indians. Giving a tribute to Rani Laxmi Bai, the National award-winning actress said, “When Akhand Bharat (India) was agreed upon, she really believed in new age India and fought for it.
