After playing a queen in Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi (2019) and a kabbadi player in Panga (2020), Kangana Ranaut will take on the role of a spy for next year’s Diwali release, Dhaakad (2020).
The actress confirmed her part in the upcoming action thriller to be directed by Razneesh 'Razy' Ghai. “Dhaakad is an action film and it is [a] big film. For us, it's like venturing into a genre that is absolutely missing in Hindi films. It is something of a thriller — intriguing and more of like a spy thriller. In the film, my name is Agni. I play a spy," Ranaut told the IANS news agency.
The film will clash with Karan Johar’s multi-starrer historical Takht (2020) next Diwali. Its makers are looking for an action director from Hollywood to choreograph the action sequences.
