Didda, was the ruler of Kashmir from 980 CE to 1003 CE, first as a Regent for her son and various grandsons, and from 980 as sole ruler and monarch. Most knowledge relating to her is obtained from the Rajatarangini, a work written by Kalhana in the twelfth century.

She married the king of Kashmir, Ksemagupta, and united the kingdom of Lohara with that of her husband. Even prior to becoming Regent Didda had considerable influence in state affairs, and coins have been found which appear to show both her name and that of Ksemagupta.

On the professional front, she will be seen next in the war-drama film 'Tejas' helmed by Sarvesh Mewara, the film will follow the story of a daring and fierce fighter pilot, played by Kangana Ranaut. On the other side, she also has an action flick 'Dhaakad' in which she will portray the role of a spy and will be produced by Sohail Maklai productions and Asylum films, co-produced by Qyuki Digital Media. Apart from these films, she recently wrapped up the shoot of 'Thalaivi: The Revolutionary Leader'.

Well, Kangana Ranaut has the best lined-up films compared to any other Bollywood actress and with 'Manikarnika Returns: The legend of Didda', she is really going to break the box-office records.
