In the first week of September, Kangana Ranaut and Sonu Sood were caught in a war of words over the latter's last-minute exit from Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi and the decision to replace the actor during the patchwork shoot has been called unfeasible by many.

In the latest development, the makers are reshooting the major portions of the period drama with Ranaut at the helm, as Sood has been replaced by the Tanu Weds Manu fame, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub.
