Kangana Ranaut Compares Action Thriller Dhaakad With Resident Evil

Kangana Ranaut starrer Dhaakad, first women lead driven action movie of Bollywood will release in Diwali 2020 but the teaser of the movie is already out and Kangana's warrior avatar with machine guns in hanmd created quite a stir.

The first look of Dhaakad was shared a while ago and her fans were left awestruck.

In a recent chat with Mid Day, Kangana opened up about the film, challenges in shooting its action sequences and contrary to the much talked about similarity with Tom Raider she compared it to Hollywood action horror film series Resident Evil. 

“Dhaakad is in the same space as Resident Evil. The movie has several chase sequences and sword fights. I will use all kinds of sophisticated weapons, including some of the latest machine guns. I believe one must pick up new skills for every movie. I don’t like to rush into any project as it makes me anxious.” Kangana said.

Director Razneesh Ghai also shared details about the film and stated, “Manikarnika was a period film that had Kangana training with swords. But since Dhaakad is a contemporary movie, the style of action is different. She will have to undergo a six-week programme — besides learning hand-to-hand combat and Krav Maga for two weeks each, she will dedicate a fortnight to learn how to use guns. A team of stunt directors from Thailand will train her."

Interestingly, the release date of Dhaakad as seen in its first poster featuring Kangana is the same day when the Karan Johar produced Varun Dhawan film Rannbhoomi has been slated for release Diwali 2020. Rannbhoomi on the other hand will helmed by filmmaker Shashank Khaitan.
