Actor Kangana Ranaut will soon bring her own life story to the big screen as a director and says the project won't be a "propaganda".
With a script penned by "Baahubali" writer KV Vijayendra, who also wrote "Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi", the film will go on floors by the end of this year in October-November.
"My own story is the subject of my next directorial. But it is not a propaganda film with characters who are starkly black and white, rather it is a sincere, heartfelt account of my journey so far with plenty of lighter moments," Kangana said in a statement.
"I'm emboldened by the love of the people around me, who have never judged me but accepted me for who I am," she added.
According to the actor, Vijayendra "urged" Kangana, around 12 weeks ago, to let him write a film based on her life.
"I was nervous and wary initially, but then, given his stature and the fact that I trust him implicitly, I gave Vijayendra sir the go-ahead on the project."
