Mumbai Sep 1 (IANS) Actor Vaibhav Tatwawaadi who essayed Chimaji Appa in "Bajirao Mastani" will be seen playing a pivotal character in the historical biopic "Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi" which stars Kangana Ranaut.
"I am very excited to be a part of such a huge project. My role has action romance and drama " Vaibhav said in a statement.
He will be seen paired with actress Ankita Lokhande and will play Puran Singh the main soldier in Rani Laxmibai s army.
"In fact Ankita and mine is the only love story in the movie. My fans will get to see me doing horse riding sword fighting and a lot of action sequence in the movie " added Vaibhav.

Sharing his views on how his role as Puran Singh is different from that of Chimaji Appa Vaibhav said: "Chimaji Appa and Puran Singh are from totally distinct eras as well as societal and economic classes of those times. Chimaji was a Brahmin born in the Peshwa family with a silver spoon in his mouth and Puran Singh comes from a very humble Dalit background."
"However at the core both were strong brave men who were great strategists."
