Exclusive! After Sonu Sood, director Krish walks out of Kangana Ranaut starring Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi
It looks like that Queen actress Kangana Ranaut starrer Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi is in trouble again and again. This project is having trouble since its announcement, first, the film didn't get the release date and after that, her co-stars started targetting the film.
Recently Bollywood actor Sonu Sood came out of the project and he also made allegations on Kangana Ranaut after she hit hard on him. Kangana Ranaut in a statement said, 'Sonu Sood doesn't want to work with female directors'. However, later Sonu Sood said 'Kangana Ranaut is playing women card and he has no problem in working with any female director.'

Now one very close source of the film confirmed the report of director Krish coming out of film Manikarnika. Bollywood Hungama quoted a source, “He (Krish) was eased out. Krish was expelled. She (Kangana Ranaut) gradually took over the project and the producers meekly complied. She first muscled into the writing, then the direction. It came to a point where Kangana was telling the actors what to do. Krish is no walkover. He has directed many blockbusters in Telugu cinema and done historical epics like Gautamiputra Satakarni and Kanche. He was chosen to direct Manikarnika for his vast experience. How was he to know that he would be so humiliated and pushed out of the project?”
According to one source, Director Krish shot the film very beautifully and it was like a Tajmahal. Now Kangana is just getting an extra coat of paint to the film.
