Kangana Ranaut's Panga photos with Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari!

Kangana Ranaut’s sports biopic Panga is based on the life of a national level Kabaddi player who goes through numerous struggles to come out triumphant in the end. Recently, the director Ashwiny penned a note about how excited she is to share the story with fans and for them to see Kangana in a new avatar.

Along with the message, Ashwiny also shared some BTS photos from the first day of the shoot. In one of the photographs, we can see Kangana dressed in a pahadi look with track pants and a casual striped tee and a sleeveless sweater. With gold bangles in her wrists and sneakers, Kangana can be seen engrossed in a conversation with her director. It looked like Ashwiny is trying to explain something to Kangana. But, in her note the director explained that they were chatting about the winter and the sun.

Panga director Ashwiny posted, “1 year ago started shooting #Panga on a winter morning in a quiet lane of rustic Bhopal.A year later Panga releases on 24 Jan 2020. Here K is sitting in a pahadan style and we were speaking philosophically about winter and sun. We were talking about how in the hills people at sunrise sit at on the edge of the valley or on their terrace and soak in the rays of the sun. This daily ritual keeps their enegy to work through the day. In the city little do we get to even sit in stillness. Making a film goes beyond the ‘on paper’ dynamics. It’s a relationship for a lifetime. Eagerly waiting to share with you this inspiring journey of humane & funny anecdotes #pangastories @foxstarhindi #kanganaranaut #jassiegill #RichaChadda #neenagupta.”

Bollywood’s well-known actress Kangana Ranaut has already wrapped up shooting for her forthcoming film, Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi, which is based on the ferocious warrior Rani Laxmibai. The actress is now concentrating on her next, which is Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari's directorial Panga. In Panga, Kangana will be seen essaying the role of a kabaddi player. For the movie, the actress is gearing up not just to master the tricks of kabaddi but also to undergo a wide-ranging physical transformation to justify her character.

As per reports, Kangana will be gaining 6-7 kilos for Panga and as the shooting progresses, she will begin shedding the kilos too. A source disclosed, "Kangana will start training in kabaddi as soon as she is back from her vacation in New York. Though she is familiar with the sport, she requires training to showcase it like a professional. But, before she starts doing so, she will gain weight. She is on a high-calorie protein diet, and, over the next month, intends to pack on six kilos."

"Kangana may need to incorporate weight training exercises instead. So it's going to be a gala time for Kangana to turn a foodie and enjoy a generous serving of nut shakes, fruits and tofu on her dietary chart," a source further revealed.

Ashwiny’s real act!

Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari is set to follow her directorial debut Nil Battey Sannata with a documentary about India’s artisans.

The film is the result of the moviemaker’s fascination with the handloom and crafts industry, and her desire to do her bit for sustainable fashion and textile. Ashwiny will travel through villages that are renowned for their craftsmanship to record her material, and she believes that giving these workers a face and voice will encourage others to buy from them.
