This Photo Of 'Queen' Kangana Ranaut Making MS Dhoni And Virat Kohli Do 'Thumkas' Is Pure Gold

With a distinct accent and unconventional looks, Kangana Ranaut made her debut in Gangster and won applause. She was one of the most promising stars at that time. But the two films that changed her life forever were - Tanu Weds Manu and Queen, the two films with which she proved that a movie doesn't necessarily need a hero to become a blockbuster.

As Queen clocks eight years of release today, Kangana Ranaut took to Instagram stories to share a throwback photo in which she is posing with Indian cricketers MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ajinkya Rahane, and Stuart Binny.

She apparently taught them to do the thumkas for an advertisement.

She wrote, "On this day (7th March) in 2014, a film came called #Queen...and it changed my life forever.....I did many iconic roles after that...Datto, Manikarnika, Thalaivii, but little did I know, no matter what I do I will forever be remembered as #Queen."

Did you know Kareena Kapoor Khan and not Kangana Ranaut was the first choice for Queen? She rejected it because she reportedly couldn't relate to the script.

Kangana Ranaut had also revealed that the script of the Vikas Bahl directorial was considered lame by many.

"Whoever read Queen¡¯s script before, they said it was the most-lame script they¡¯d ever seen," she had told Pinkvilla.

Kangana Ranaut had accused Vikas Bahl of sexual misconduct. She said that he would hold her tight and smell her hair, and also bragged about sleeping with a new woman every day.

"Even though Vikas was married back in 2014 when we were filming Queen, he bragged about having casual sex with a new partner every other day. I don't judge people and their marriages but you can tell when addiction becomes sickness.

"But still every time we met, socially greeted and hugged each other, he'd bury his face in my neck, hold me really tight and breathe in the smell of my hair. It took me great amount of strength and effort to pull myself out of his embrace. He'd say 'I love how you smell K'. I could tell something is wrong with him," she said.
