New Delhi: Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut once again bagged the Best Actress Award in the 67th National Film Award. The actress won the award for her films ‘Manikarnika’ and ‘Panga’. Kangana has earlier received three National Awards for ‘Fashion’, ‘Queen’ and ‘Tanu Weds Manu Returns’. The 'Thalaivi' actress is also the recipient of Padma Shri. She has been awarded the fourth highest civilian award in the country by the Government of India for her contribution to arts.
Soon after the winners’ list was announced, Kangana Ranaut took to her social media and shared an emotional video thanking her team from ‘Manikarnika’ and ‘Panga’.
Take a look at the video here:
In the video shared by the 'Dhaakad' actress, she can be seen thanking each and every member of her team of 'Manikarnika'. She also thanked the director of her film 'Panga', Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari. She also thanked 'Chhichhore' director Nitesh Tiwary who provided additional script inputs for her film 'Panga'.
While 'Manikarnika' tells the story of Jhansi Ki Rani Laxmibai, 'Panga' is a sports film that tells the story of a forgotten Kabaddi world champion who desires to give a new meaning to her existing role of a middle-class Indian woman.
Meanwhile, other than Kangana Ranaut, Manoj Bajpayee and Dhanush also won the National Film Award in the Best Actor category for the film 'Bhosle' and 'Asuran' respectively. Late actor Sushant Singh Rajput's movie 'Chhichhore' also bagged the Best Feature Film (Hindi) Award in the 67th National Film Award.
Speaking on the professional front, Kangana Ranaut will be next seen starring in 'Thalaivi', 'Dhaakad' and 'Tejas'. Her upcoming biopic on J. Jayalalithaa, 'Thalaivi' is all set to hit the screens on April 23, 2021. The trailer of 'Thalaivi' will release tomorrow on the occasion of Kangana's birthday.
