Mid-Day quoted Kangana Ranaut saying, “There was this conversation, and I was doing Manikarnika then, so it didn’t go anywhere. But we had a brief narration. Before that as well, he wanted me to do the Ram-Leela song. He is a filmmaker who can leave strong impressions on you, especially if you are a fresh mind.”
Kangana told that she is deeply impressed with Bhansali's cinema, she said, “I was 13 or 14 when they [friends at Chandigarh hostel] took us to watch Devdas. It is based on literature that I was not exposed to. Along with direction, for the first time, the artiste, thinker, or someone who loves to contemplate, had been seriously seduced.”

“So the ethos of two extremely strong-headed people [in Devdas] and their egos, meant much more. At that age, I could identify with it. I would cry, and think about life. And, of course, those amazing, grand visuals, and the way he depicted them was poetic, something I’d never seen before,” Manikarnika actress further added.
On the professional front, Manikarnika actress Kangana Ranaut recently on her birthday announced that she is going to do a biopic on late Tamil Nadu leader Jayalalitha.
