Madhu Mantena to produce film on Kashmir's last Hindu queen Kota Rani

Madhu Mantena will be co-producing film based on Kashmir's last Hindu queen

The story of Kota Rani, the last Hindu queen who ruled over Kashmir, will be brought on the big screen soon. The film will be produced jointly by Reliance entertainment and Phantom Films. The 14th century queen of Kashmir was said to be an exceptionally beautiful woman who was also a great administrator and military strategist.

"It's a matter of great surprise that as Indians we don't know enough or at all about a personality like Kota Rani. It would be no exaggeration to compare her to Cleopatra and a lot of things that we are witnessing today are directly related to the story of Kota Rani," said Madhu Mantena who is co-producing the venture.

"Her life was extremely dramatic and she is perhaps one of the most able woman ruler that India produced. It would be a shame not to know about her," he added.

Sibashish Sarkar, Group CEO, Reliance Entertainment, shared that the primary aim is to make the remarkable story of Kota Rani reach as many people as possible.

"Her character has many shades but without a doubt she is one of the tallest female characters to have come out of our country. Paradoxically, very few of us know about her. We will be making this film at an ambitious scale," Sibashish said.

GOVINDA OPENS UP ON WHY WILL HE NEVER WORK WITH DIRECTOR DAVID DHAWAN IN FUTURE, FULL STORY INSIDE

If you happen to be a kid from the 90s, then hands down, the most happening and successful actor-director-combination during those days was that of Govinda and David Dhawan. The two super talented stars gave showbiz many comic gems, which are still cherished by many. The actor-director Jodi has in total worked together in seventeen films, however, things took a u-turn after there was trouble in their paradise. Well, after the feud, the two never collaborated with each other ever again. Now after many years, finally Govinda has spilt the beans on as to what went wrong between the two.

On Aap Ki Adalat, the actor opened a can of worms and shared why he will never work with David Dhawan in the near future. He said, "After I left politics, I told my secretary to keep the phone speaker on so that I could listen to what he (David Dhawan) was saying. I heard, David, saying, Chi-Chi (Govinda’s nickname) is questioning a lot. He was telling my secretary, I do not want to work with Govinda anymore. Tell him to do some small bit roles. This shocked me and I decided never to work with him. After 4-5 months, I again rang him up just to find out if he would give me a guest appearance in his film. He then never rang me back. I am revealing this in public after so many years. I think he is under somebody’s influence. I do not think he is that same David Dhawan whom I used to know.”

GURU RANDHAWA ASSAULTED BY AN UNKNOWN MISCREANT AFTER A CONCERT IN CANADA?

Punjabi singer and actor Guru Randhawa was reportedly assaulted by an unknown miscreant in Vancouver Canada, after his concert in the city on Sunday night. It has been reported by a news website that the singer tried to exit the Queen Elizabeth Theatre, where he had performed his concert when the said miscreant hit him on his head from the back. The ambulance was immediately called and the singer was rushed to a hospital. He is out of danger, but the identity of the assaulter is still unknown.

As per the report, eyewitnesses and attendees of the concert have alleged that the assaulter was also behaving in a rowdy manner during the concert. The singer is currently going on a USA and Canada tour. He had performed in Dallas before Vancouver and the Canadian city was his last destination of the tour. Randhawa was also supposed to perform in Pakistan after his 'Guru Randhawa Sensational Tour.' The singer who rose to fame with his songs like Patola and Suit Suit has also found success in Bollywood. He last composed music for his Punjabi contemporary artist Diljit Dosanjh's film Arjun Patiala.

Randhawa who started with a fan base around Delhi and other North Indian regions has slowly broadened his fan base to abroad as well. His USA-Canada tour was a massive success before the incident. The Patola singer also found international success when he got the super-popular singer and rapper Pitbull to collaborate with him on the song Slowly Slowly. The song which released in April was released by T-Series. It also found success because it was sung in three languages- English, Spanish and Punjabi.

Workwise, the singer will be composing and lending his voice for films like Dream Girl and Housefull 4 and collaborating with composers like Arjun, Tanishk Bagchi, and Sachin Jigar.
