Kangana Ranaut is one such actor, who loves to challenge herself with distinct roles. In 2019, played the role of fierce Rani Lakshmibai in Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi. This was the first time Kangana played a historical character on celluloid. Kudos to the stunning actor, for playing such a strong personality so effortlessly on the big-screen. From her jewellery, costumes, to action sequences, Kangana really pulled off the character beautifully in  Manikarnika, as Queen of Jhansi.

Another stupendous actor who truly looked royal on silver-screen is none other than Shahid Kapoor. In Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 2018 epic-drama Padmaavat, Shahid Kapoor played the role of Rajput King. Shahid Kapoor really worked on himself to get into the skin of his character for Padmaavat as the King of Mewar, and a rational ruler. Shahid Kapoor looked truly royal in the entire film, and also grew a moustache for it.
