Her
stupendous
portrayal
of
an
under-confident
Rani
in
Queen
won
her
not
just
a
Best
Actress
National
Film
Award,
but
also
earned
her
the
epithet
of
Bollywood's
'Queen'.
But
Kangana
Ranaut
finds
it
"funny".
"This
'Queen'
of
Bollywood
tag
is
quite
funny!
Now
I'm
playing
Rani
Lakshmibai.
So
after
that
film,
people
will
write
on
my
grave
'Rani
Lakshmibai
died
here'," Kangana
quipped
during
a
chat.
The
acclaimed
actress,
who
has
carved
her
niche
in
the
Hindi
film
industry
with
power-packed
women-centric
roles
in
movies
like
Gangster
-
A
Love
Story,
Fashion
and
Tanu
Weds
Manu,
says
her
life
can
be
clearly
divided
into
a
"pre-'Queen'
and
post-'Queen'" eras.
"If
there's
a
biopic
on
me,
it
will
be
pre-'Queen'
and
post-'Queen'...
pre-'Queen'
was
a
different
world
--
black
and
white
--
and
after
'Queen',
my
world
has
become
colourful,
because
I'm
getting
a
lot
of
offers
that
I
think
I
deserve
and
I
always
thought
I
deserve,
but
would
have
never
got,"
said
the
actress,
who's
known
for
being
outspoken.
Now,
she
says
"I'm
as
good
as
it
can
get".

In
Rangoon,
which
is
set

the
1940s,
the
28-year-old

sport
a
vintage
look.
Rangoon
Look
"We
have
done
a
few
look
tests,
but
we
haven't
decided
yet
about
my
hairstyle.
It
will
be
more
of
a
vintage
hairstyle
as
the
film
is
set
in
the
1940s.
I
love
vintage
stuff.
We're
still
zeroing
down
one
look," she
said.
New
Film
Apart
from
that,
Kangana
is
also

a
"musical" story.
Musical
About
Circus
"I
have
just
signed
these
three
films
-
'Rani
Lakshmibai',
'Rangoon' and
'Simran'.
But
now
there
is
one
another
musical,
which
I
might
start.
It's
a
musical
film
about
circus
and
the
script
sounds
very
exciting,
but
I'll
announce
it
once
it's
finalised,"
Kangana
said.
