A release date of Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi hasn't been finalised till now. The film was initially slated for an April release. Now, the makers of Kangana's Manikarnika have decided to release it between August and September. "We have mounted the movie on a scale that's hard to imagine. We don't want to clash or release too close to a film that can eat into our business. While we want to release the film between August and September, we haven't zeroed in on a date yet," producer Kamal Jain had told mid-day. They are also working out on a possible release date to avoid clash with Rajinikanth's 2.0. Kangana Ranaut is also the co-producer of Manikarnika.
