Kangana Ranaut’s Panga to arrive on 24th January, 2020

The makers of the much-awaited Hindi film Panga have announced the official release date of the movie. The film, which started production last year in November, is set to hit the big screen on 24th January, 2020.

Panga stars three-time National Film Award-winning actress Kangana Ranaut as the female lead. Besides her, the movie also has Richa Chadha, Jassie Gill, Pankaj Tripathi and Neena Gupta in important roles.


Talking about the storyline of the film, it is basically a sports drama which sees Ranaut in the role of a Kabaddi player. It also talks about the unending support one’s family lends in the hour of need.

Fox Star Studios, the production house which is bankrolling Panga, announced the official release date of the film on their official Instagram handle on Thursday, along with sharing a still from it.

The movie is being helmed by well-known filmmaker Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari who last directed Bareilly Ki Barfi (2017) and before that, Nil Battey Sannata (2016).

Before the release of Panga, Kangana Ranaut will be seen in Ekta Kapoor’s next production Mental Hai Kya. The project, which reunites the actress with her Queen (2014) co-star Rajkummar Rao after five years, has been wrapped up and is expected to release soon.

Yash says Ravana in Ramayana must connect with Western viewers as film eyes global audience

Highlights

  • Yash says he humanised Ravana to help global audiences relate to the character.
  • Asura designs in the first glimpse drew criticism for looking too Western-inspired.
  • Producer Namit Malhotra compares the film's tone to Lord of the Rings and Gladiator.
Yash, who plays the demon king Ravana in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, says his portrayal was shaped by one clear goal: making the character relatable beyond Indian audiences.
Speaking at CinemaCon in Las Vegas this week, where the film was presented alongside major Hollywood releases, the actor said he worked to strip away the purely mythological reading of the role.

"I have tried to internalise the whole essence of Ravana and tried to make him as human as possible at times," Yash told Reuters.

"It is important for people to relate to him, and since we have global ambitions, we need to make it familiar to a Western audience as well."
