New Delhi: After battling a few hurdles such as actor Sonu Sood’s not-so-amiable exit from the film and objections by Brahmin group Sarv Brahmin Mahasabha from Rajasthan, the teaser for actor Kangana Ranaut's upcoming movie Manikarnika is finally out. 

The teaser starts out strong with Amitabh Bachchan's booming voice narrating the British invasion and the ensuing battle of Jhansi. Grand shots of the palace and even more opulent costumes steal the show. However, the effects fall a little flat, even a shot of a bloodied Ranaut screaming, "Har Har Mahadev" fails to move. Take a look at the teaser :

      

Kangana had, however, in an earlier statement said, “I am proud of this film, and of portraying a character who empowers and inspires. We have put in our heart, blood and sweat into making this film. Manikarnika will make every Indian proud.".

The movie is set to release on January 25, 2019.
