Revolver Rani to battle it out with Kaanchi, Samrat & Co

Posing each other stiff competition, the three films are all set to hit the screen on Friday.

NEW DEHLI: After Queen, Kangana Ranaut is back at the box office as ‘Revolver Rani’ and she would battle it out with musical Kaanchi and thriller Samrat & Co for top honours when the three films hit the screens Friday.

Kangana loves to push the envelope by stepping into unconventional roles. With her performance in Queen, Kangana not only raised the bar for her contemporaries, but also for herself. She continues the trend of taking up challenging roles with Revolver Rani, which sees her in a never-seen-before avatar of a gun-toting don, who mouths dialogues in profane language. Debutant director Sai Kabir describes her character as ugly” and non-glamorous.

Kangana will face stiff competition from Rajeev Khandelwal, who will showcase his acting skills in Samrat & Co. Pressure is on Kavita Barjatya as this is the first feature film by her as a producer. She is generally known for making television shows.

The flavour and setting of the two films is entirely different; the Tigmanshu Dhulia-produced Revolver Rani is set in the backdrop of Chambal area while detective movie Samrat & Co, featuring Rajeev as a suave investigator, has been shot in Himachal Pradesh.

Subahash Ghai has geared up to release his directorial venture Kaanchi, the third film in the fray. The film, starring Kartik Tiwari and Mishti Mukherjee, has a rural set up and has been shot in a hill station. The film marks Ghai’s comeback after five years.
