Kangana Ranaut, whose last release was Judgementall Hai Kya will now turn producer with Aparajitha Ayodhya. The actor has confirmed the title of the film and also revealed that it is based on the Ram Mandir issue and the court case that was recently solved after several disputes.
The film will be bankrolled under her yet to be launched Manikarnika Films, named after her directorial debut Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi.
According to a report on Mumbai Mirror, the actor said “Many documentaries have been made on this subject from varying perspectives. However, what makes Aparajitha Ayodhya different is that it will document the journey of the protagonist from a non-believer to a believer. In a way, the film will also reflect my personal journey, so I feel that this is the apt topic for my first film.”
She also said, “I have grown up hearing the name Ayodhya being referred to in a negative light. The piece of land that was symbolic of sacrifices became the subject of a property dispute. The case changed the face of Indian politics and the verdict reflected the secular spirit of India.”
Kangana’s sister Rangoli Chandel took to Twitter to announce the news.

Speaking about the title, Kangana said “I have seen bhakts getting drenched in the rain, arguing that they cannot be warm and dry when their Ram Lalla is wet and cold. There have been numerous efforts to wipe out our unity, but we remain undefeated. Hence the prefix Aparajitha, which means the unvanquished.”
KV Vijayendra Prasad, the writer of the Bahubali franchise will be in charge of the script for this film. The director, cast, and crew will be announced shortly with a grand launch.

“My office will be ready by January 2020. Simultaneously, we are readying our projects. There are so many good scripts that come my way, and the (makers) want me to feature in them. But there is so much new talent that needs to be given a platform. It’s important that these powerful scripts don’t get lost, and make it to the big screen,” said Kangana in the press statement.
Meanwhile, Kangana will next be seen in Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari’s sports drama Panga, AL Vijay’s Thalaivi (Tamil), and Jaya (Hindi), and Razneesh Razy Ghai’s Dhaakad.
