Kangana Ranaut, who stepped in to direct the remaining portions of Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi when director Krish (Radha Krishna Jagarlamundi) had to leave to fulfil his South film commitments, will be helming another movie soon.

Though currently on a few days’ break in her hometown in Himachal Pradesh, she is said to be keeping tabs on the postproduction of her period action drama that is backed by Zee Studios. Even as she’s waiting for the release and response to the biopic on Rani Lakshmibai, the promos of which have garnered tremendous praise from all quarters, we hear that the National Award-winning actress will step behind the camera again soon.

At the film’s promotional event recently, she talked about its making with such emotion and passion that one couldn’t help but ask if she was directing again.

Kangana, who has Mental Hai Kya lined up after the historical, said, “The writers are really good and they are supporting me. My next film is being written by K V Vijayendra Prasad, who has scripted the Baahubali movies and also Manikarnika. We have already begun talking about it. However, this time, it’s going to be a love story.” When probed further about the kind of romance she was planning to make, all the actress was willing to say for now was, “It is a love story, but not with a human.” Now, it would be interesting to see what kind of a prem kahaani Kangs is planning to come up with.
