Sonu Sood joins the cast of Manikarnika The Queen of Jhansi!

Sonu Sood who has been part of several period and historical dramas including Jodhaa Akbar and Shaheed-E-Azam, is set to feature in yet another historical drama.

The talented actor, who had been recently roped in for J P Duttas war drama PALTAN, is set to pull off an equally interesting and striking character in a period large-scale epic film, titled Manikarnika The Queen of Jhansi.

A source says, Sonu will essay the role of a warrior, Sadashiv in the historical drama, alongside Kangana Ranaut. The versatile actor has already begun his prep for the film directed by Krish.

Excited about the film, Sonu says, It is challenging to play a real life character because you know that it existed in the history and you have certain parameters to follow and stay within. Im sure when youre working with a brilliant director like Krish, a huge ensemble and a brilliant technical team, there is no way to go wrong. So we are all on our toes to give our best.
