Knock
Out
finally
released
last
Friday
after
all
the
flip-flop
that
took
place
in
the
Court
where
the
film
was
dragged
due
to
its
apparent
similarities
with
Phone
Booth.
As
everyone
associated
with
this
Mani
Shankar
directed
film
is
finally
taking
a
sigh
of
relief,
Kangana
Ranaut
too
cheers
up
while
talking
about
Knock
Out,
where
she
is
playing
the
role
of
a
journalist
for
the
first
time
in
her
career.
"Well
correction,
I
am
not
just
a
journalist;
I
am
a
crime
journalist
in
the
film
who
is
reporting
live
on
the
action
from
a
crime
scene," smiles
Kangana,
who
is
finally
letting
her
hair
down
for
screen,
the
last
instance
being
her
hit
flick
Once
Upon
A
Time
In
Mumbai,
"It
was
quite
edgy
to
be
actually
portraying
such
a
character.
In
order
to
get
tips
on
body
language
and
the
tone
of
reporting,
I
did
actually
watch
the
clippings
of
a
few
journalists
reporting
from
crime
sites."
Though
the
film
appears
to
be
centred
primarily
on
the
two
men
-
Sanjay
Dutt
and
Irrfan
Khan,
Kangana
insists
that
she
has
an
important
part
to
play
in
the
narrative
as
well.
"Yes,
of
course
this
is
a
film,
which
is
primarily
about
interaction
between
Sanjay
and
Irrfan.
Still,
there
is
a
lot
happening
on
ground
too
and
this
is
where
I
come
into
the
scene,
literally
so,
by
reporting
all
that
is
happening
live
in
front
of
me.
You
know,
the
fact
is
that
Knock
Out
is
actually
a
very
different
film.
A
fast
paced
action
thriller
is
a
first
for
me
too.
Moreover,
since
the
entire
story
takes
place
in
just
two
hours,
it
further
goes
on
to
add
to
the
fun."
Though
it
is
expected
that
she
would
have
limited
in-person
interaction
with
both
Sanjay
Dutt
and
Irrfan
Khan
due
to
the
way
the
film's
plot
has
been
set,
she
has
fond
memories
of
the
time
that
she
spent
with
them
during
the
making.
"It
was
an
amazing
experience
to
be
working
with
them.
They
are
both
great
actors
and
have
so
much
experience,
it's
a
privilege
to
work
with
them,"
comes
an
expected
response
from
Kangana,
who
would
next
be
seen
in
Anees
Bazmee's
No
Problem,
Indra
Kumar's
Double
Dhamaal
and
David
Dhawan's
Rascals
-
all
with
Sanjay
Dutt.
On
a
parting
note,
one
can't
help
but
ask
her
-
What
would
she
do
if
she
indeed
became
a
journalist
in
real
life?
Whom
would
she
want
to
turn
the
tables
on?
"I'd
like
to
meet
every
journalist,
who
has
interviewed
me
and
ask
them
questions
about
their
personal
lives
and
deepest
secrets,"
winks
Kangana
without
taking
more
than
a
second
to
arrive
at
this
one,
"It
would
be
fun
to
see
them
in
a
situation
where
they
feel
that
their
privacy
is
invaded
and
they
are
being
judged."
Point
taken
girl.
May
be
we
will
talk
about
your
personal
life,
the
deepest
secrets
and
that
'special
someone' in
our
next
conversation
once
you
are
through
playing
a
journalist!
