Actor Atul Kulkarni has been roped in to play
Ramchandra Pandurang Tope, better know as Tatya Tope in upcoming film
"Manikarnika - The Queen of Jhansi". He says he is doing all his sword-fighting
stunts himself.
Directed by Krish, the film features actress Kangana
Ranaut as Rani Laxmibai.
"After Kangana in the title role, Atul has the
most powerful role in ‘Manikarnika'. He has been learning horse-riding and
sword-fighting alongside Kangana and since they are both shown to be fighting
from the same side in the war, the two of them spent a lot of time getting into
the combined collaborative mode," a source said.
Atul, who earlier played
Ramprasad Bismil in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's "Rang De Basanti", said: "This is
something I've never done before. I am doing all my sword fighting stunts
myself. My body-double hired to do the stunts just sits around on the sets doing
nothing."
