We were the first to tell you that Sujoy Ghosh was making his next edge-of-the-seat thriller once again with the powerhouse performer Vidya Balan, along with Irrfan. But we have now learnt from sources that Vidya is on her way to becoming a mother and had to thus drop out of the film leaving her friend with the most formidable task of finding an actress, who could match Vidya’s acting skills. We are delighted to know that Sujoy has finalised Kangana Ranaut, who has proven that she is a stupendous actress post Queen, and would have been an obvious choice for any director searching for high-quality acting skills. Further, what was uncanny was the title of the film Durga Rani Singh. Kangana’s name in Queen is Rani, her upcoming film is titled Revolver Rani and now she will be a part of Durga Rani Singh. Looks like Kangana for sure has some past lucky connection with some Rani. Well whatever be the connection, we wish both Vidya and Kangana the very best and eagerly await both, the baby and the film.
