Kangana Ranaut named as one-take actor on the sets of 'Rangoon'

Director Vishal Bhardwaj, we hear, is mighty impressed with Kangana Ranaut who plays the main lead in his film 'Rangoon'. The actress essays the role of Fearless Nadia in the biopic that is set against the backdrop of World War II.

Kangana, apparently, has been delivering a very convincing performance at the shoot, forcing Vishal to okay her shots in one take. Thanks to this, the crew of the film has begun calling Kangana a “one-take actor” — a title that doesn’t come very easily on a Vishal Bhardwaj set.

Says a source from the sets, “Kangana excels at her work and for Rangoon, she mostly has been giving excellent shots in just one-take, so everyone has started calling her ‘one take actor’.

"She is also very professional in her acts. For instance, there’s a particular scene, which required her to feed a Japanese prisoner. Since it was a prolonged shot, she ensured that she washed her hands every time and also insisted the Japanese translator on the sets conveyed it to the actor. Kangana is gelling very well with the crew too.”

The Rangoon team comprising the actress, Shahid Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan has begun shooting the film at Mumbai’s popular location, Film City.
