Kangana Ranaut, named best actress at this year’s National Film Awards of India for her performance in Queen, says she is excited over next month’s ceremony where she will receive the honour.
The 62nd National Awards will be held on May 3. The 28-year-old actress has shunned awards shows in the past, the most recent being the Filmfare Awards in which she won best actress for Vikas Bahl’s coming-of-age drama.
“I am looking forward to attending the National Awards. I don’t like attending commercial award shows. But National Awards are different,” said Ranaut, who was here to attend the launch of new jewellery line — Sunar.
The actress will be next seen in Aanand L Rai’s Tanu Weds Manu Returns, which is the sequel to 2011 film Tanu Weds Manu. The trailer of the film also starring R. Madhavan and Jimmy Shergill, has been given the thumbs up by the audience as well as the film industry.
“The second part is equally nice. I hope you all will enjoy it. I am happy that people have liked the trailer. I can assure you that the film is even better,” said Ranaut, who will be seen in a double role in the movie.
Tanu Weds Manu did good business at the box office. When asked about her expectations from the sequel, she said: “The film should do well. Its important for films to do good business as it benefits the whole movie industry.”
Tanu Weds Manu Returns will hit theatres in the UAE on May 21.
