After the big controversy that ensued between Hrithik Roshan and Kangana Ranaut and took everyone by storm, now the two actors are going to battle it out once again albeit on a different pitch. However, this battleground might cost dearly to the one who loses because it is the all-important box office. Kangana’s upcoming film Manikarnika -The Queen of Jhansi has finally got a release date and it will be clashing with her "silly ex" Hrithik’s Super 30.

Manikarnika -The Queen of Jhansi which will see Kangana in the role of the iconic Rani Laxmibai of Jhansi was previously slated for a release on April 27, 2018, but now will be releasing on January 25, 2019. The filmmakers believe that the Republic Day weekend will be right for the film’s patriotic theme as Rani of Jhansi led the First war of Indian Independence in 1857 along with Tantya Tope and Bahadur Shah Zafar II. The teaser of the film will release in the next few days to announce the release date. The film also stars Ankita Lokhande.
