Kangana Ranaut (pronounced [kənɡənaː raːɳaːʋət̪]; born 23 March 1986) is an Indian actress, primarily known for her work in Hindi films. After pursuing a career in modelling and theatre, Ranaut made her feature film debut in 2006 with a critically acclaimed performance in the thriller Gangster, for which she was awarded the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut. She garnered further recognition for her role as a troubled model in the 2008 drama Fashion, earning her a National Film Award and a Filmfare Award in the Best Supporting Actress category.

Ranaut subsequently featured in the commercially successful films Raaz – The Mystery Continues (2009) and Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai (2010). Her role in the 2011 romantic comedy Tanu Weds Manu marked a departure from the dark, intense roles she was known for playing; the film proved to be a box office hit and garnered her praise from the critics. After a series of brief, glamorous roles, Ranaut achieved further success for her performance in the superhero film Krrish 3 (2013), one of the highest-grossing Bollywood films of all time, and established herself as a leading actress of Hindi cinema with a role in the highly successful dramedy Queen (2014).

Early life and background

Ranaut was born into a Rajput family on 23 March 1986 to Asha Ranaut, a school teacher, and Amardeep Ranaut, a businessman. She has an elder sister, Rangoli and a younger brother, Akshit.[2][3] Her family lives in Mandi.[4][5]

She completed her schooling in Dehradun. After a few months of college, she moved to Delhi to become a model and joined the Elite Modelling Agency in 2003.[4] Ranaut started her career as a theatre actor in Delhi with Asmita Theatre Group.[6] She trained under eminent theatre director Arvind Gaur. Ranaut said of Gaur "It's because of theatre that I'm so comfortable in films [...] Arvind was very kind. I went to him and said, I'm going to Bombay, and I need a sort of crash course in acting. So, he taught me acting specially, just for an hour everyday."[7] She participated in his theatre workshop at India Habitat Centre and acted in several plays. Her first play with Arvind Gaur was Girish Karnad's Taledanda (Rakt-Kalyan).[8]

Career

Film debut and critical acclaim (2006–08)

In 2004, it was reported that the producers Ramesh Sharma and Pahlaj Nilani had signed Ranaut for a film titled I Love You Boss to be directed by Deepak Shivdasani.[4][10] The following year, the director Anurag Basu spotted Ranaut at a coffee shop in Mumbai, and offered her a chance to audition for the lead role in Gangster;[11] she was confirmed for the role after over 20 audition rounds and subsequently opted out of I Love You Boss to shoot for Gangster.[12][10] Ranaut was cast in the central role of an alcoholic woman caught in a romantic triangle between a notorious gangster (played by Shiney Ahuja) and a friend who sympathises with her troubles (played by Emraan Hashmi). Ranaut was seventeen while filming and said that she "had difficulty first in understanding and then unwinding from the character", describing her craft as "raw and immature."[13] Released in 2006, Gangster emerged as a critical and commercial success and her performance was praised.[14][15][14] Raja Sen of Rediff.com said that "Kangana is a remarkable find, the actress coming across with great conviction. Hers is the pivotal character, and an extremely difficult role to essay, but she manages it well [...] Kangana's nuances [of an alcoholic character] are disconcertingly realistic. From the slur to the pout, the glassy eyes to the hesitant gait, she nails the role [...] she does an impressive job, especially for a debut."[16] She won the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut, along with various other debut awards.[17]

Ranaut's next role was in the Mohit Suri-directed drama Woh Lamhe (2006), a semi-biographical film based on the schizophrenic actress Parveen Babi and her relationship with the director Mahesh Bhatt.[18] She said that portraying Babi had left her emotionally drained: "I had become so close to her that I had begun to feel her desolation and loneliness."[19] Film critic Subhash K. Jha wrote that Ranaut "is the first female performer of Bollywood since Smita and Shabana who isn't scared to strip her soul naked for the camera", adding that she is "[a] hugely expressive actress with a phemomenal ability to convey torment, hurt and incredulity through the eyes".[20] Despite positive reviews, the film underperformed at the box office.[21][22]

The following year, Ranaut played a "far less troubled character", an aspiring musician, in Suneel Darshan's musical thriller Shakalaka Boom Boom, alongside Bobby Deol, Upen Patel and Celina Jaitley.[23] The film's production was marred by dispute between Ranaut and Darshan; she objected to her voice being dubbed by another artist, but Darshan insisted that he needed a particular "twang and accent" for her character.[24] India Today described the film as an "amateur mess", and the film proved to be a box office flop.[15][25] She next reunited with Anurag Basu for the ensemble drama Life In A... Metro, playing the supporting role of a shrewd socialite engaged in an affair with her married boss (played by Kay Kay Menon). Despite a poor initial at the box office, the film emerged as a profitable venture.[26] Khalid Mohamed of Hindustan Times was critical of the film, noting its lack of originality and realism,[27] though Raja Sen was more positive and reviewed that Ranaut is "refreshing [...] and manages to herd her emotions well, playing a complex role but hardly ever overreaching", however, writing that her delivery of English dialogues "makes you wince."[28] For her role, Ranaut was awarded the Stardust Award for Breakthrough Performance – Female.[17]

Ranaut next portrayed a village girl in Dhaam Dhoom, a Tamil romantic thriller, opposite Jayam Ravi. Production on the film was temporarily halted when the director Jeeva died of a cardiac arrest while filming; the film was completed by the crew members and released in 2008.[29] A review carried by Post wrote that Ranaut had "little scope" in a role that did not suit her.[30] India Today described her next film, the Madhur Bhandarkar-directed drama Fashion (2008), to be a "landmark" in her career.[14] Set against the backdrop of the Indian fashion industry, the film co-starred Priyanka Chopra and Mugdha Godse, and featured Ranaut as a substance abusing supermodel struggling to cope with her floundering career. The media speculated her role to be based on the former model Geetanjali Nagpal, which both Ranaut and Bhandarkar denied.[31] Concerned that the role was indeed based on Nagpal, the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) ordered a stay on the film's release, approving only after a script narration.[a][32] With a worldwide revenue of ₹600 million (US$7.2 million), Fashion emerged as a commercial success,[33] and was listed by Subhash K. Jha as of the best women-oriented films of the decade.[34] Ranaut's performance drew unanimous critical acclaim.[14] Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama wrote, "the real star is Kangna. Her role may not be as lengthy as that of Priyanka, but the actress pitches in an awesome performance. Her confidence at the very start is infectious and her overall performance deserves an ovation."[35] Nikhat Kazmi of The Times of India labelled Ranaut as the "scene stealer", adding that she "does an exquisite metamorphosis from a wispy, high-strung, nervous child-woman to a stunning ramp diva."[36] Her portrayal earned Ranaut several awards, including the National Film Award and Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actress.[17]

Career fluctuations (2009–12)

The supernatural horror film Raaz – The Mystery Continues from director Mohit Suri was Ranaut's first film release of 2009, in which she played a "successful and independent" model who is possessed by a ghost.[37] The film co-starred Emraan Hashmi and Adhyayan Suman, and proved to be a financial success.[15] Subhra Gupta of The Indian Express noted that Ranaut was getting stereotyped in roles that required her to be "hysterical", adding that she needed a "radical change of image".[38] Also that year, she played the leading lady in the drama Vaada Raha and the Telugu action film Ek Niranjan, neither of which were particularly notable.[14] In a review for the latter, Rediff.com published, "[Ranaut] looks pretty but as far as performance goes, there's nothing much to write about as the script doesn't have anything for her to showcase her acting skills".[39]

In Anurag Basu's romantic thriller Kites (2010), Ranaut portrayed a brief role as the fiancée of Hrithik Roshan's character. She said that she felt "cheated" after watching the film, as her character proved to be much smaller than what she had initially signed on for.[40] She then portrayed Rehana, a film actress, in the Milan Luthria-directed gangster film Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai. Also starring Ajay Devgn, Emraan Hashmi and Prachi Desai, the film chronicles the rise and subsequent fall of an underworld don (played by Devgn) in the 1970s. Ranaut said that her character was "a mix" of the actress Madhubala and the gangster Haji Mastan's wife, and in preparation she observed the work of the actresses Zeenat Aman and Parveen Babi.[41] The film was one of the most successful releases of the year, and garnered positive reviews from critics.[42][43] Sudish Kamath of The Hindu labelled her a "delight" and Mid Day's Sarita Tanwar praised her for being "totally convincing" in the role.[44][45] After playing a television reporter in the thriller Knock Out, Ranaut actively looked for a comedy and found the role in Anees Bazmee's No Problem; both films failed to propel her career forward.[14][46]

Bollywood Hungama published that after establishing a reputation for portraying dark and intense roles, Ranaut was seeking projects that would be "less emotionally exhausting" for her.[47] Her first release of 2011 was Anand L. Rai's Tanu Weds Manu, a romantic comedy opposite R. Madhavan, which Ranaut considers a "game changer" for her.[48][49] Rai said that he cast Ranaut for the role to "showcase her in a different light" adding that it was "poles apart from life vs death roles that [she] has played in the past".[50] Critical reaction to the film was mixed, though Ranaut's performance was praised.[15][17][51] Kaveree Bamzai labelled Ranaut the "star" of the feature, and Rajeev Masand added, "Kangana Ranaut is a pleasant surprise in a cheery, upbeat part that we haven't seen her take on before. She rises to the challenge, only hampered occasionally by her mangled dialogue delivery."[52][53] Ranaut received Best Actress nominations at several award ceremonies, including Screen and Zee Cine.[17]

Ranaut followed the success of Tanu Weds Manu by starring in a series of brief, glamorous roles in four other films of 2011: Game, Double Dhamaal, Rascals and Miley Naa Miley Hum. Apart from Double Dhamaal, none of these films performed well.[14][15] She later said that she did some of these films due to a dearth of film offers, adding: "We are independent women who run their own houses and it is not necessary that you can always get the kind of work you want to do. So sitting ideal and jobless at home is not the option."[54][55] The following year, Ranaut portrayed a supporting role opposite Ajay Devgn in Priyadarshan's action thriller Tezz, another box office flop.[15]

2013 onwards

The director Sanjay Gupta cast Ranaut in a brief role opposite John Abraham in the crime thriller Shootout at Wadala (2013) due to her ability to stand out in a predominantly male-centric film.[56] The Daily News and Analysis' Tushar Joshi wrote that her role was written "to provide the sex quotient", and critic Vinayak Chakravorty opined that she "does not get much scope [...] beyond the steamy lovemaking grind".[57][58] Commercially, the film performed moderately well.[15]

Ranaut achieved success later in 2013 for her portrayal of Kaya, a shape-shifting mutant and India's first female superheroine, in Rakesh Roshan's science fiction film Krrish 3, alongside Hrithik Roshan, Priyanka Chopra and Vivek Oberoi.[59][60] When Rakesh Roshan first offered the role to her, she declined it due a disappointing prior association with him on Kites, in which Roshan had served as producer.[40] After other actresses rejected the role, Roshan approached her again, assuring her that the role would not be a minuscule one.[61][62] She accepted the offer, later saying: "I'm really glad I did it".[40] Critics thought that Krrish 3 "entertains but lacks originality", though Ranaut's performance garnered praise.[14][63] The critic Sarita Tanwar reviewed: "Kangana Ranaut is delightful as an alien making the weird hair and clothes work for her. She even manages to make you feel her pain. Quite an accomplishment that!"[64] With global ticket sales of ₹3 billion (US$36 million), the film emerged as one of the highest-grossing Bollywood films of all time, becoming Ranaut's most financially profitable venture.[15][65] Also that year, Ranaut played the eponymous lead in the musical drama Rajjo. The film was a critical and commercial failure and Ranaut's portrayal of a nautch girl was largely criticised.[15][66]

In 2014, Ranaut established herself as a leading actress of contemporary Hindi cinema when she featured alongside Lisa Haydon and Rajkummar Rao in the coming-of-age dramedy Queen; she also co-wrote the dialogues with Anvita Dutt Guptan.[67][68] The film tells the story of Rani, a naive girl who embarks on her honeymoon alone after her fiancé calls off their wedding. Ranaut described the role to be one of the toughest she had played, saying: "I have always been independent and confident, but, this girl is so unsure about her life. She is neither confident about her decisions, nor has any firm opinion on anything."[69][70] The film and Ranaut's performance received unanimous acclaim from critics.[71] Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV called the film "a sparkling little gem", adding that Ranaut "is the heart and soul of Queen and she does not strike a single false note."[72] Devesh Sharma of Filmfare wrote: "It’s Kangana’s film from frame one. The way she flits from one aspect of her character to another without breaking stride shows her maturity as an actor. Her efforts make you clap for Rani’s small and big victories, you root for her character to come up trumps and are glad about the glorious transformation at the end."[73] The film also emerged as an economic success.[74]

Upcoming projects

Ranaut has several upcoming projects in various stages of development. She has completed work on two films that are scheduled for a 2014 release—the black comedy Revolver Rani with Vir Das, and the Karan Johar-produced drama Ungli alongside Emraan Hashmi, Sanjay Dutt and Randeep Hooda.[75][76] She has also completed work on I Love New Year, a romantic comedy with Sunny Deol, which after numerous delays is awaiting release.[77] She will be making her directorial debut with a short film dealing with the relationship between a four-year old boy and a dog; she wrote the screenplay in a collaboration with an Australian writer and completed the principal photography in America.[78] Ranaut has also signed on for a sequel to Tanu Weds Manu, where she will feature in a double role, and Sujoy Ghosh's Durga Rani Singh in which she will play a 35-year old mother to a paralytic teenage girl.[79][80]

The DCW, who had represented her during court proceedings and helped her recovery through rehabilitation, were concerned that a negative depiction of her life would "affect her physical or mental health adversely".[97]
