Kangana’s Wooden Horse Is No Joke

The  memes and  trolls are  going berserk over Kangana Ranaut’s faked  valour as  Jhansi Ki Rani  in Manikarnika.

The  actress who  has  been bragging about her dedication to playing the  Queen of Jhansihas been caught by alert twitteratis riding a wooden horse  in  battle scenes  of  Manikarnika.

However  in her defence, a source from  the film’s original director Krish Jagarlamudi’s  core team says there is nothing to ridicule  in  Ranaut’s duplicity.

“The  biggest and  most aggressive of stars  in the West and  in India use wooden horses in battle scenes. You can say,  it is an accepted norm, a routine procedure  in  scenes showing  the  protagonist in battle  . Even Ranveer Singh in  Bajirao Mastani  and  Deepika Padukonein Padmaavat used  wooden horses  for  the  battle scenes. There is nothing absurd  or laughable  about  it,” says  the  source.

An actor whose role was  severely slashed in Manikarnika gives  Kangana a  clean  chit  in  the war  scenes. “She performed  most  of  the stunts on her own. However as far as horse-riding  is concerned , she did use a dummy horse for some  of  the  more dangerous  stunts. Isn’t that  understandable? What  if she fell and injured herself?”
