I have tried my best to essay the role of Rani Laxmibai: Kangana

"It's an iconic role. I trained a lot in sword fights and horse riding. In fact, after riding the horse for two days straight I got a fever.

"I can only imagine the strength and nerves of steel that Laxmibai had... I am nowhere close to her greatness. I have only tried my best to portray her tales of bravery," Kangana said in a statement.

The makers chose Independence Day to launch the first official poster, given the significance of Rani Laxmibai in India's freedom struggle.

"Who better than Kangana Ranaut to portray her on the big screen. We couldn't have been happier with the way the campaign is coming together."

To this, Jain added, "As we celebrate our Independence Day today, we owe it to our brave freedom fighters.

"Many heroes gallantly fought for our freedom, one such great Indian hero is our own Manikarnika, our Rani of Jhansi, Laxmibai, who is the symbol of heroism in India."

"It's a great honor for me to be working with such great actors and to be directed by a veteran. I am a very big Karan Johar fan ever since I was a child. So honestly, it's very special feeling and it's still sinking in. I am still dealing with it and I am just so nervous about the film."

Before making it as an actress, Bhumi worked as a casting executive for Yash Raj films.

"I worked with different directors where I used to conduct auditions of different actors, so I got a fair amount of idea about what is required and what is not required to be an actor. I was enacting film scenes for three years of my life working as a casting executive."

Takht will be a story of a family, ambition, greed, betrayal, love and succession. It is being produced by Hiroo Yash Johar and Apoorva Mehta, for release in 2020.
