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.

Actress Kareena Kapoor Khan is expecting “Rangoon”, which features her husband Saif Ali Khan, to become one of the best films of this year.

Kareena, who attended the screening of the Vishal Bhardwaj directorial here on Sunday, said: “I am expecting ‘Rangoon’ to be the film of the year because it is directed by one of my favourite directors, Vishal Bhardwaj. I have worked in ‘Omkara’ with him. I think people are also expecting a lot from this film.”

“I am also excited about Saif because he was so good as Langda Tyagi (in ‘Omkara’). It is one of his iconic roles. In ‘Rangoon’, his character is very striking. For the first time, he is playing a Parsi film producer.”

Kareena, 36, said she normally doesn’t like to attend a film’s screening.

“Saif was surprised to see that I am going to the trial. I had to come because it is an emotional film because of Saif, Vishal and Sajid (Nadiadwala) with whom I’ve worked previously,” she added.

The period drama also features Kareena’s former beau Shahid Kapoor and actress Kangana Ranaut. It is releasing on Friday.

Kareena said Bhardwaj’s films have the most arresting portrayals by negative characters.

“There are three stellar actors in this film. Kangana, Shahid and Saif — all are brilliant actors and there will be a competition in the film to give their best. I am expecting nothing less than the outstanding performances of the trio as currently, they are the best in the industry,” said the actress, who is loving motherhood.

Workwise, Kareena is looking forward to start the shooting for her next film “Veere Di Wedding”.

“We are going to start in May. Therefore, I am quite excited about it. The story is about four girls and there isn’t any male lead, which is very interesting,” she added.

Alongside Kareena, “Veere Di Wedding” features Sonam Kapoor, Swara Bhaskar and Shikha Talsania.
