It is not a very well known fact that ace director Vishal Bhardwaj, many years ago had this wish to make a film on the life of the stunt queen Fearless Nadia. So much so that there were even news of him signing German actress Franka Potente for the part. We'll, the project never moved beyond those news reports. But years later, it seems like Bharadwaj's dream project is finally here to illuminate the silver screen, albeit with the Queen of Bollywood, Kangna Ranaut playing a dead giveaway doppelganger of Nadia named Julia.

The superbly sleek cut trailer shows Ranaut having a great deal of fun doing the Nadia like 'Fearless' stunts and flirting with and seducing the two men in her life, played by Shahid Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan. Rangoon, set in 1944 when World War 2 raged across the world, the movie wears a lush ripe look. The three protagonists look good together, and apart, and seem to believe in what is essentially the story of a movie star persuaded to travel to a war zone to provide recreational relief to soldiers. Fans of Kangna Ranaut and off the on-screen lip lock, in the order, would be pleased to know that there are shared smooches with both her co-stars. And there are a lot of stunning untamed locations, to go with the wild-child image of Julia/Nadia.


The trailer captures the chaotic excitement of war-time exigencies splendidly. But the one person whose massively excited about a film on the life of Nadia is her grand-nephew, choreographer Shiamak Davar. `She was my Marymai. She loved me insanely and left her famous trademark whip and mask and even her house to me. I was always her favourite and she said it openly.` said Shiamak in an interview. It was Shiamak's 'Marymai' who encouraged Shiamak to take up dancing. `She was my inspiration! She encouraged me to sing and dance. She urged my parents all the time to never stop me from chasing my dreams. I am where I am because of Marymai's encouragement.` he further added. With so much excitement building in and everybody raving about Kangana's character of Ms. Julia, we just cannot wait to see her sizzle and set the silver screen on fire.
