Last seen on celluloid in Hansal Mehta’s Simran (2017), Bollywood star Kangana Ranaut is now gearing up for the release of her next film, Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi. But before the movie hits theatres, the makers will be launching the theatrical trailer of the period drama.
After receiving a stupendous response for the teaser, which was rolled out a couple of weeks ago, Zee Studio is set to unveil the trailer of the magnum opus on 18th December amid much fanfare.
Kangana Ranaut, who plays fearless freedom fighter Rani Lakshmi Bai in the hotly anticipated movie, will attend the grand trailer launch along with the entire cast and crew of the film and, of course, media.
Manikarnika is one of the most expensive historical films made in recent times. The makers have spent like a sailor on the making of this ambitious project. To ensure that the movie reaches out to as many people as possible, the team has decided to release the period drama in Tamil and Telugu apart from Hindi.
Ahead of the release of the trailer, Kangana shared her excitement, saying, “Our team is planning an exciting, never-seen-before trailer launch!”
Vibha Chopra, Head Zee Studios international, revealed that apart from India, the movie will be releasing in many key territories across the globe. “Good stories should not be restricted to borders. A story and film as grand as this must be told to as many people as possible. With Indian Cinema becoming a growing force around the world, we are looking forward to taking the film across the globe”, she said.
Commenting on the release of the film, Shariq Patel, CEO, Zee Studios said, “Zee Studios feels privileged to bring Manikarnika, Jhansi Ki Rani’s extraordinary story on the silver screen and will be backing it by giving it a wider release than any other film in this genre. We will be releasing the film in over 50 countries worldwide on January 25.”
Also starring Jisshu Sengupta, Atul Kulkarni and Ankita Lokhande in important roles, Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi is set to enter cinemas on 25th January, 2019.
Perry's onstage quip about "Englishmen" felt like a deliberate signal.
Those yacht photos are, frankly, undeniable.
It started with a Montreal dinner most people missed.
Both are out of long-term relationships.
Well, she’s as good as confirmed it, hasn’t she? Katy Perry just tossed a verbal grenade into her London concert, and the pieces all point to Justin Trudeau. That line about Englishmen? You do not say that by accident. It lands just days after those, let's face it, pretty steamy pictures of them surfaced on her boat. This Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau thing is suddenly feeling very real, shifting from rumours to a full-blown celebrity romance.

So what did she actually say?
Mid-show at the O2, looking out at the crowd, she hits them with this: "London, England, you’re like this on a Monday night?... No wonder I fall for Englishmen all the time."
Pause.
Then came the kicker: "...but not anymore." The place erupts. It was too specific, too perfectly timed. And then, almost as if scripted, some fan proposes to her. Her comeback was: "I wish you’d asked me 48 hours ago." What is that, if not a nod to a new, serious someone?
Let’s talk about the yacht. The Daily Mail got those shots and, while grainy, the story they tell is crystal clear. The photos were taken off the coast of Santa Barbara, on her 78-foot Caravelle. He is pulling her in, kissing her cheek. His hand was on her backside in another frame. This follows that low-key Montreal dinner in July that almost flew under the radar.

Where does this leave everyone?
Right, let us look at the context. Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom only finalised their split recently, with the co-parenting news coming out in July. Justin Trudeau’s marriage to Sophie Grégoire also ended last year. Both are prominent figures with busy lives who have only just become single. Sources are already saying he has been "persistent," flying to see her on tour breaks. It has the feel of something that is accelerating fast. And Perry, with that London comment, seems ready to let it.
