Kangana Ranaut makes digital debut as producer with Tiku Weds Sheru

The actress also unveiled the logo of her production house Manikarnika Films.

Kangana Ranaut has announced her digital debut as a producer with the film Tiku Weds Sheru, which is going to be a love story and a satire. The actress also unveiled the logo of her production house Manikarnika Films on Saturday, her father’s birthday.

The logo depicts a tiger emerging from flames, with a temple in the background. The production house’s title is a nod to the title role Ranaut enacted in Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi (2019), for which she won the National award earlier this year.

"With Tiku Weds Sheru, Manikarnika Films is venturing into digital space,” the actress said in a statement. “It's a love story and a satire with dark humour. In the digital space, we will do more edgy, new-age and niche content.

“We will also launch new talents and take risks with new concepts. We feel the digital audience is slightly more evolved than the regular cinema-going audience," she added.

Ranaut will next be seen as former Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalithaa in the multi-lingual biopic Thalaivi (2021). The actress has also been filming for the action film Dhaakad and drama Tejas in which she plays an Air Force pilot.
