Kangana Ranaut reveals story behind role in Queen

Actress Kangana Ranaut has said that her character in the film Queen has got nothing to do with the late Hollywood actress Marilyn Monroe’s life or even with show business.

“Queen is the story of a very naive girl who lives in the Delhi suburbs and goes on her honeymoon alone. To know why, you’ll have to watch the film,” the 26-year-old said on Friday at the unveiling of the latest cover of Cine Blitz magazine which she appears on.

“’Queen’ is one character I play that will be the most sensitive and vulnerable girl ever. It is not related to Marilyn Monroe or showbiz at all,” she added.

Queen, directed by Vikas Bahl, will have its world premiere at the ongoing 18th Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) in the Window on Asian Cinema section.

BIFF began on Thursday and concludes on October 12.

Ranaut, who has has played a myriad of roles convincingly in movies like Gangster, Fashion and Tanu Weds Manu, says she found her most challenging role in the movie Revolver Rani.

“It may sound very cliched, but honestly, the most challenging role for me till date has been Revolver Rani. I play a dacoit-cum-politician. It is a mix of supergirl plus vulnerable girl plus Queen plus everything. So that was most challenging,” Ranaut said.

Revolver Rani, produced by Tigmanshu Dhulia and directed by Sai Kabir, stars Vir Das opposite Kangna.
