Reportedly, a lot of actors, including Kangana, have undergone training in Kabaddi to be part of the upcoming sports film. In fact, Kangana had undergone rigorous training for over two months for her role in the film. Tiwari, who has helmed films like Nil Battey Sannata and Bareilly Ki Barfi, is known for her slice-of-life stories that uphold the beloved values of middle-class Indians. Kangana, on the other hand, has had two major releases this year — Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi and Judgementall Hai Kya. While Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi was lauded by most critics for its unabashed portrayal of the warrior queen, Judgementall Hai Kya received mixed reactions. Rajkummar Rao was seen alongside the actress in the film. The actress will also be seen as the former chief minister of Tamil Nadu and yesteryear actress J Jayalalithaa, in the upcoming biopic Thalaivi. Check out posts on Panga
