Five reasons why you should definitely be watching Kangana's Simran

Mumbai: Kangana Ranaut is in every essence of the term, a self-made woman. The actress, who made a sensational debut in Anurag Basu’s unconventional 2005 directorial ‘Gangster,’ has had a mercurial rise in the industry, much courtesy to her impeccable script sense, choice of characters, and most importantly, her incredible talent.

Three National awards down the line, films sell on her name alone. And her upcoming film, the Hansal Mehta helmed ‘Simran,’ is no different, with its trailer already sending fans and admirers into a frenzy.

Here are five reasons why you should watch the very exciting project on September 15:

1. Hansal Mehta, largely acknowledged tobe one of Bollywood’s better directors, last helmed the immensely appreciated ‘Aligarh,’ which had starred Manoj Bajpayee and Rajkummar Rao in the lead roles. This film marks his maiden collaboration with Kangana, a very enticing prospect for the average cinephile.

2. Kangana Ranaut plays a divorcee based out of the country. Kangana Ranaut plays a quirky Gujarati divorcee based out of the country. Kangana Ranaut plays a kleptomaniac quirky Gujarati divorcee based out of the country. Could there a better written character for this maverick actress! The actress reportedly plays a character based on Sandeep Kaur, who’d been convicted for a few robberies in the US.

3. Kangana, who’s done a screenwriting course in the US, has co-written the script alongside Apurva Asrani, had come under the scanner when the latter accused her of stealing his limelight and credits. However, Kangana and Hansal had stood their ground reiterating that the script had been a collaborative attempt between the two. Kangana, who has been quite vocal about her intentions to turn director, will be foraying into an alternate aspect of filmmaking with this project, adding another feather in her cap.

4. The biggest turning point in Kangana’s career had been her turn as the achingly affable bride, who ventures on a solo honeymoon trip after her groom dumps her at the eleventh hour. Her turn had been so appreciated that it fetched her her second national award, and her first for Best Actress. While parallels have been drawn between the two films courtesy the two characters’ perceived innocuousness, the films couldn’t have been more diametrically dissimilar. However, that’s all the more reason to go for Simran, since who wouldn’t want to adore an amiably naïve Kangana!

5. Kangana Ranaut had a grand release this year in Vishal Bhardwaj's 'Rangoon,' which had her co-starring Shahid Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan. However, the film failed to make a mark at the box-office. Fans are earnestly waiting for her next outing, well aware of her potential to bounce right back in the most grandiose of fashion!
