Fans who are looking for some originality in their movie fare, need look no further than Jhansi ki Rani – the Great Escape. Based on the life of Rani Lakshmibai, the beautiful, young queen of Jhansi who stood up to the British during the Indian Rebellion of 1857 becoming a symbol of hope to her followers. She died on the battlefield during the Battle of Gwalior at the tender age of 22, but her spirit lives on in this new movie where she is played by Neelakshi Singh.
But it’s 21-year-old Anaya Das who is likely to turn most heads, playing the role of Neelakshi’s handmaiden. The new star in the southern firmament has already been signed up for two additional movies on the strength of her role in Jhansi ki Rani.
