Is the Kangana Ranaut-Deepika Padukone rivalry all set to begin again?
Bollywood superstars Kangana Ranaut and Deepika Padukone’s old rivalry may yet again be revived again–if media reports are to be believed.
According to a source that spoke to a leading Indian entertainment website, Kangana Ranaut was insecure of Deepika’s Padmavati look.
Kangana Ranaut–who essays the role of Rani Laxmibai in Manikarnika–The Queen of Jhansi, is reportedly quite insecure of the attention that Deepika Padukone is getting due to her recent avatar in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s magnum opus.
“How else can you explain the multiple pictures of Kangana in a queen’s avatar being ‘leaked’ from the sets on a daily basis? Kangana may be feeling anxious, but it is too early for her pictures to come out much before the release of the film. She may well want to piggyback on Deepika’s queen visuals coming out, but this is more of a knee-jerk reaction,” said the source to a leading daily.
Kangana Ranaut is shooting for the movie in Jaipur. A couple of months ago, the actress made headlines when she was injured while she shot for a sword fighting scene. This is how she described the injury in an interview:-
“I was doing a sword fighting scene with three men. (Laughs) I guess Nihar (Pandya, who plays Rao Saheb) forgot his cue and he hit on my head. There’s no way of avoiding something so unfortunate like this. Especially, when it’s choreography related. The coordination of the various elements is difficult. It was a bad accident. It exposed my bone and my face was full of blood.”
Will this rivalry between the two leading ladies of Bollywood go public or will the two actresses keep to themselves? Only time will tell.
