Kangana Ranaut-starrer '
Dhaakad
' will be released theatrically on May 20, the makers announced on Tuesday. The action movie is directed by
Razneesh Razy Ghai.
The 35-year-old actor stars in the movie as Agent
Agni
.
"I enjoyed the love and admiration that came my way for the way I pulled off the action scenes in 'Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi'. In our cinema, we rarely have heroines performing action scenes in the real sense.
"When 'Dhaakad' came my way, I felt happy to see that someone had dared to visualise a woman in a hardcore commercial film as an action heroine. I'm all for dare-devilry and doing something that pushes the envelope. There's nothing that does it like a good commercial film," the 35-year-old actor said in a statement.
The film also features
Saswata Chatterjee, Arjun Rampal and Divya Dutta in pivotal roles.
Razy Ghai lauded the National Award-winning actor, saying that she has worked hard for the movie.
"While constructing this character, we were clear that Agent Agni had to be one of a kind. We've seen no one as feisty and bold as her. It was reassuring to have someone like
Kangana Ranaut with us who not just worked on the looks of her character, but went all out to get in perfect form for 'Dhaakad'. She also got into the mind space of the character wonderfully," the director said.
