Kangana Ranaut exits Anurag Basu's 'Imali'

Mumbai, Apr 3 Actor Kangana Ranaut has quit filmmaker Anurag Basu's next "Imali" as she needs to concentrate more on her directorial venture.

The project, which will also feature Rajkummar Rao, would have marked her third collaboration with Basu after her debut "Gangster" and "Life in a Metro".

The actor said "Imali" should go on floors in November 2018 yet she needed to coordinate and reshoot "Manikarnika", so the film was pushed.

"Anurag and I have spoken about it. I feel extremely was because 'Imali' was giving me a chance to work with my mentor again, but I'm on the verge of announcing my own film in half a month from now. That has taken a ton of my time and I have passed on it to Anurag, who understood my situation," she said in a statement.

The actor said her focus right now is on her next directorial.

"We will work together at some point. 'Imali' is a beautiful love story and we can do that later. But right now, at this moment, my attention is on my next directorial venture."

Kangana is currently working on three movies - "Mental Hai Kya", "Panga" and the recently announced Jayalalithaa biopic.
