With Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi being made available for free download online, the box office collection is likely to take a hit.

Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi was leaked on the internet by TamilRockers within hours of its release

Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi revolves around Rani Laxmibai, who fought against the East India Company and the British to prevent her kingdom of Jhansi from being usurped.

Kangana's performance has been hailed by critics as well as the audience. Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma heaped praise on the actress on Twitter. Comparing her to the iconic Bruce Lee, he wrote, "Wowwwww, Kangana Ranaut f***ing swept me away with her sheer intensity in Manikarnika... Last I witnessed such fury and ferocity was only in Bruce Lee in Enter The Dragon."

Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi marks Kangana's foray into direction. She took over the reins from Krish, who was originally meant to be the solo director. "It may sound strange, but I have never really identified with being an actress. It's not my calling, direction is," she said.

However, Krish has accused Kangana of modifying the script to suit her fancy. He claimed in an explosive interview that she "wanted everything to herself" and "blatantly reduced" the length of her co-stars' parts.
