In 2014, Kangana Ranaut impressed cinema lovers with her comedy-drama film, Queen. Directed by Vikas Bahl, the film also starred Rajkummar Rao and Lisa Haydon in supporting roles. The film resonated strongly
with audiences at the time, earning widespread acclaim for its refreshing narrative and Kangana’s standout performance, which continues to be celebrated as one of the finest of her career. There have been ongoing reports about a sequel in the works, and now, as per a fresh report, Queen 2 is expected to go on floors by the end of April.
Kangana Ranaut set to start shooting for Queen 2
According to Mid-Day, the sequel will not directly continue the 2014 hit’s storyline, but is expected to build on its core themes of self-discovery and independence. Kangana’s character will be seen as a city girl in Queen 2. A source told the portal, “In Queen 2, Kangana’s Rani will be a city girl unlike the small-town girl in the original. She will be smart, strong, and quirky, but a plot point will send her on the road of self-discovery. It will show how she conquers life through her individuality, self-realisation, and courage. While the first one saw her travelling to Paris and Amsterdam alone, this journey will take her across cities in India.”
The report also suggests that no actors from the original cast are expected to return apart from Kangana Ranaut. Director Vikas Bahl has reportedly chosen a fresh lineup, with several theatre artists being considered for key supporting roles in the second instalment. The source further added, “The unit will kick off the project in a Mumbai studio, where a set reflecting a North Indian city and another depicting the protagonist’s home will be built. After the Mumbai leg, they will move to other metro cities. The film will be completed in a start-to-finish schedule of three months.”
