"Four historians have certified Manikarnika...The Queen of Jhansi. We have got censor certificate as well. Karni Sena has been conveyed this but they are continuing to harass me," Kangana said in a statement.

"If they don't stop then they should know I am also a Rajput and I will destroy each one of them," added the Queen actor, who has directed the film along with Krish.
