A Film On Kota Rani, The Last Hindu Queen Of Kashmir, To Be Produced By Madhu Mantena
It’s raining biopics in Bollywood! Recently, it has been announced that two of the most giant production houses of Bollywood – Reliance Entertainment and Phantom – have teamed up to back a film that will chronicle the life of the last Hindu queen of Kashmir, Kota Rani. She ruled over Kashmir before it was taken over by the Islamic rule. Kota Rani, who lived and ruled in the 13th century AD, was an exceptionally beautiful woman who was also a great administrator and a military strategist. Also known for her bravery, Kota Rani protected Kashmir against the central Asian invaders and used her beauty to gain power over men who threatened Kashmir. 

Co-producer of the film, Madhu Mantena, in his statement, said, “It’s a matter of great surprise that as Indians we don’t know enough or at all about a personality like Kota Rani. It would be no exaggeration to compare her to Cleopatra and a lot of things that we are witnessing today are directly related to the story of Kota Rani. Her life was extremely dramatic and she is perhaps one of the ablest woman rulers that India has produced. It would be a shame to not to know about her.” 




“The primary aim is to make the remarkable story of Kota Rani reach as many people as possible. Her character has many shades but, without a doubt, she is one one of tallest female characters to have come out of our country. Paradoxically very few of us know about her. We will be making this film at an ambitious scale” added the Group CEO of Reliance Entertainment, Sibashish Sarkar. 


We now wait to know who will step into Kota Rani’s shoes. Which actress would you like to see?
