Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut is all set to return with the second installment of the hit Manikarnika franchise.

Titled Manikarnika Returns: The Legend Of Didda, the film will revolve around the life of Didda, Kashmir's first woman ruler, sometimes described as the "Cleopatra of Kashmir". Didda ruled Kashmir directly and indirectly for around five decades in the 10th and 11th centuries and defeated Mahmud Ghaznavi twice.



Announcing the movie, Kangana Ranaut took to Twitter and wrote, "Our India has been witness to the story of many brave hearts like Rani of Jhansi. Another such untold heroic story is that of a queen of Kashmir, who defeated Mahmud Ghaznavi not once but twice. @KamalJain_TheKJ and I are coming with #ManikarnikaReturns: The Legend of Didda", translated from Hindi.

हमारा भारतवर्ष साक्षी रहा है झाँसी की रानी जैसे कई वीरांगनाओं की कहानी का. ऐसी ही एक और अनकही वीरगाथा है कश्मीर की एक रानी की, जिसने महमूद गजनवी को एक नहीं, दो बार हराया. ले कर आ रहे हैं @KamalJain_TheKJ और मैं, #ManikarnikaReturns: The Legend of Didda 🙏 pic.twitter.com/sgrqkqilj6
