Former 'Bigg Boss' contestant Vivek Mishra has joined the cast of ' Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi ', starring actress Kangana Ranaut.
"I'm really happy to star in the film. The film itself will help to educate a generation. It will teach the meaning of love for the nation. The Queen of Jhansi was an inspiring figure," Vivek said in a statement.
"I enjoy being a part of such movies. Earlier, I was a part of 'Mangal Pandey: The Rising'," he added. On his role in the upcoming film, he said: "I am playing Sipahsalar. My role will be close to Jhalkari Bai, portrayed by actress Ankita Lokhande."
Vivek finds Kangana "kind as we can imagine how Laksmi Bai was. She has a very pure and lovely soul. She is beautiful and amazingly talented".
