The CM also posted moments from the interaction and revealed details of the film’s plot.
“The Beti Bachao movement has been underway in the state and I am happy that film is about the abuse faced by women and children," he tweeted.
"Padma Shri Kangana is a brilliant, talented and a nationalist artist. I am happy that the film has put priority on social issues. I wish them the best for the shooting and thank them for shooting in the state,’ he added.
Dhaakad
Kangana Ranaut has been sharing moments from the preparation session of Dhaakad. Right from script reading session with the crew, which also includes Divya Dutta, brunch gatherings, where she introduced French director of photography Tetsuo Nagat and director Razneesh Ghai, she has been raising the excitement among her fans.
Kangana Ranaut plays a Lara Croft-like character in the movie. The movie had first been announced and the first look shared in 2019, and had been gearing up for release on Diwali 2020. However, the COVID-19 pandemic delayed the venture, which is now likely to release next year.
Apart from Dhaakad, Kangana will be seen in Thalaivi next year. The actor has stepped into the shoes of former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalitha. Her look had become a talking point. The Tanu Weds Manu star is also playing the role of an Air Force in the movie Tejas.
