Mystery behind Sushmita Sen's 'Jhansi Ki Rani' continues

Kangana Ranaut

Kangana Ranaut is all set to play Rani Laxmibai in 'Manikarnika - The Queen of Jhansi' amid a host of controversies and legal wrangles. At the same time, we can't help but wonder what happened to Sushmita Sen's 'Jhansi Ki Rani', where she was all set to play the protagonist and don the director's and producer's hat as well.

Sushmita Sen

In 2009, Sush had expressed desire to play the legendary freedom fighter on the big screen. But her project never took off and until 2012, we kept hearing about plans to take it on floors.

It was later put on hold indefinitely due to financial woes. For Sushmita, it was not just a film but a dream. But playing 'queen' has always suited Kangana better, no? Queen of controversies too.
