Rangoon role not based on anybody living or dead: Kangana

New Delhi Feb 21 (IANS) Actress Kangana Ranaut whose character in the forthcoming film Rangoon is said to be loosely based on actress-stunt woman Fearless Nadia says her role is not based on any real-life person.

A lawsuit was reportedly filed against Rangoon maker Vishal Bhardwaj on grounds of copyright infringement by Wadia Movietone Pvt Ltd which has claimed that Kangana s character Miss Julia is based on real-life Australian stunt actor Mary Evans popularly known as Fearless Nadia.

Asked about it Kangana told IANS here: I think there is some legal hassle around that. First of all we cannot comment on a matter when it s already in the court but we can assure you that it s not based on any living or dead person.

The 29-year-old actress added that Rangoon is completely a fictional story and the characters are fictional as well.

Rangoon also starring Saif Ali Khan and Shahid Kapoor will release on Friday. It is set during World War II.
