Kangana Ranaut will now be taking on mentor Anurag Basu at the box office. Both their films are lined up for the Republic Day 2020 weekend. After Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi, which released on Republic Day, Kangana Ranaut had booked January 24, 2020, for Panga, which is directed by Ashwini Iyer Tiwari.

The actor is keen to be synonymous with Republic Day releases. Yesterday, the makers of Basu's untitled film announced that it will hit the marquee on January 24, 2020. It stars Abhishek Bachchan, Rajkummar Rao, Aditya Roy Kapur, Sanya Malhotra, and Fatima Sana Shaikh. The action comedy was earlier slated for a September 6 release.
