Kangana Ranaut to question the credibility of national awards if ‘Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi’ does not win

After her recent box-office hit, Manikarnika actress Kangana Ranaut said that she will question the credibility of the system if she does not receive a National Award for her portrayal of Rani of Jhansi. Known for her bold remarks and controversial statements, the actress always manages to make headlines. Kangana believes that Bollywood will not see better performances in the next few months, so the odds are in her favour.
“I feel there are certain things, which if you will not respect, then it is, in turn, disrespectful for that organisation itself. So, if I or my film ‘Manikarnika’ doesn’t win at National Film Awards, then it will question credibility of that award ceremony, but if I come across other good work then I will be objective enough to say it’s better than me. Last year, Tabuji was amazing ‘Andhadhun’. I am floored by what she has done in the film. But in the coming months, if there is a better performance than ‘Manikarnika’, I will definitely appreciate that but I don’t think it will happen,” she reportedly said during an interview with a news publication.
Earlier, she received national awards for her performance in ‘Fashion’ (2008), ‘Queen’ (2014) and ‘Tanu Weds Manu’ (2011). Soon, Kangana will be seen in ‘Mental Hai Kya’ along with Stree actor Rajkummar Rao. Produced by Ekta Kapoor and directed by Prakash Kovelamudi, this movie is slated to release on May 24.
