The source added, &ldquo;In the last 10 days, Kangana has been flying in and out of the city to attend the Parliament sessions. There have been times when she went to Delhi for the day, came back in the night, and shot till the next morning.&rdquo; &nbsp;&nbsp;
Hectic schedule or not, <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/bollywood-news/article/kangana-ranaut-shares-pics-of-her-first-portfolio-from-20-years-ago-23627990" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Ranaut </a>has slipped seamlessly into the character of Rani. While the second part won&rsquo;t be a continuation of the original, it will share the themes of self-discovery and self-reliance. &ldquo;This time too, Rani is a small-town woman from North India, but her look is entirely different. The story traces how she comes into her own after a situation brings her to Mumbai.&rdquo;
