Amid protests by a political youth group, who are demanding that she go back, Kangana Ranaut has been shooting for Dhaakad in Bhopal. Razneesh Ghai’s thriller sees her play an officer in the film, which deals with child trafficking and exploitation of women. Ranaut had been prepping for the action scenes in hometown Manali, so she is determined to wrap up the scenes in the schedule. As she shot for Panga (2020) and Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi (2019) in Madhya Pradesh, she’s glad to be back in the state.
