The kind of speed with which we all are working has been extraordinary and challenging but we are at it. We are really looking forward to showing the essence of Manikarnika’s life through glimpses of the film, and eventually the story of the film which is our hero”.

Manikarnika is a powerful story of a warrior, queen and mother – a historical icon who inspires generations even today. I am hopeful that the audiences will be thrilled with the trailer, which will give them a glimpse of our film – an emotionally riveting and visual extravaganza”.
