Bollywood ‘Queen’ Kangana Ranaut, who is currently shooting with the ‘Tanu Weds Manu’ director Aanand L Rai for the sequel of the same, is all set to act in his next film which will be based on the eternal love story of Heer – Ranjha.

Talking about the film, Aanand said looking at Kangana’s performance in Queen, he wanted the actress to play the role of a modern age Heer in his next and hence decided to write a challenging role that will suit her.  However, he further clarified that the script will take its own course and for now, he doesn’t want to distract himself with it since he is busy shooting for Tanu Weds Manu 2 where Kangana Ranaut will be playing a double role.

Kangana also has other projects to look forward to after Tanu Weds Manu 2 which includes Nikhil Advani’s Katti Batti opposite Imran Khan, Reema Kagti’s Mr. Chaalu with Saif Ali Khan and Sai Kabir’s Divine Lovers with Irrfan Khan.
