Kangana is also making her writing debut with the film Simran“. She says one can involve themselves into that.

“Simran is such a cosy and intimate story of a character …it’s a lot about her psyche just like ‘Queen’…it’s a lot about the linear graph of an individual…you can involve yourself in that. But for something like this (‘Manikarnika’) you need to have screenwriter of ‘Baahubali’ for that so V. Vijayendra Prasad sir and Prasoon sir are the right people for this film,” Kangana said.

“As much as I would love to be in a league like this but I think I need a couple of 10-20 years,” she added.
