Who Beautified n Powered The Biopic?

Bollywood flick Manikarnika, a biopic on freedom fighter Jhansi Lakshmi Bai became the cynosure of all eyes when it was launched in a grand manner with Kangana Ranaut in lead and creative director Krish at the helm. 

Many waited eagerly for the release of the film but its release got postponed couple of times much to their disappointment and in the meantime the recent developments didn’t paint a rosy picture with Kangana directing few scenes, Sonu Sood walking out of the project, Krish concentrating on Natasimha Balakrishna's biopic on his dad NTR. 

In the midst of all this, many are wondering who really beautified and powered Manikarnika on the screen. While the teaser released credited Krish as the director, with Kangana seen as directing many scenes as per the inside talk, how much Krish directed has become the matter of interest. 

Sometime back rumors said that producers replaced Krish as he along with Vijayendra Prasad who penned the story, filmed most of the scenes on Sonu Sood. Kangana reshoot all those scenes overtaking the mega phone. 

Now inside talk is Kangana directed more than half of Manikarnika. Now the question is how this mix of Krish and Kangana will attract movie lovers. One has to wait and see whether Krish-Kangana knocks down wowing viewers or get knocked down turning out woeful.
