Shocking! Viral clipboard shows Kangana Ranaut as the director of 'Manikarnika' but here's the full truth

Reports of Kangana Ranaut's excessive interference in the making of 'Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi' have been doing the rounds for a while now. So, when the picture of a clipboard featuring Kangana's name in front of the director's section got leaked, it instantly went viral on internet. 

The actress' team however, was quick to react. They released a clarification on Thursday saying that she has not taken over direction responsibilities and it's just a temporary adjustment that they have made. 

"Krish Jagarlamudi is the director of Manikarnika and will remain so. Kangana Ranaut has stepped in to shoot just the patchwork on his behalf while he fulfills his commitments in another movie, to make sure that Manikarnika releases on 25th Jan 2019. The clapboard is merely to avoid on set confusion," the statement issued by Kangana's team read.

"There is no truth in rumours of miff between Kangana and Krish. The clapboard is used only to avoid any confusion on the sets and there should not be much made out of the same. In Hollywood it is a common practice for actors to also step in the shoes of director if the situation demands. For example in the hit series 'Friends' 10 episodes were directed by David Schwimmer who played Ross, despite the original director James Burrows being present," Kangana's spokesperson further added. 

Based on the life of the brave warrior queen, Rani Laxmibai, 'Manikarnika' is set to lock horns at the box office with Hrithik Roshan's 'Super 30' in January, next year.
