Kangana Ranaut posted a video as she spoke about the event and her upcoming film Tejas. The event will take place on October 24.


Actor Kangana Ranaut will perform Ravan Dahan at the national capital's famed Lav Kush Ramleela on the occasion of Dussehra on Tuesday.

KANGANA RANAUT TO BURN EFFIGY OF RAVAN AT RAMLEELA

In the 50-year history of the event, held annually at the Red Fort, this will be the first time a woman will set the effigy of the demon king ablaze by shooting an arrow, said Arjun Singh, president of Lav Kush Ramleela Committee of Delhi.


Arjun Singh said the decision was taken by the committee in a nod to the Women's Reservation Bill, which was passed by the Parliament last month.

Taking to Instagram on Monday, Kangana also posted a video as she spoke about the event and her upcoming film Tejas. She captioned the post, "In the 50 years of history of the event, held annually at the Red Fort this will be the first time a woman will set the effigy of Ravana on fire Jai Shri Ram."



This year Kangana is going to celebrate Dussehra in Delhi at Red Fort. The actress will be participating in the tradition of Ravan Dahan and will be the first woman to burn effigy at Delhi's Lav Kush Ramleela. Usually, this has been done by the Prime Minister of India but since he was busy this year with the election, the Lav Kush Ramlila committee has decided to invite women to mark the recently passed Women's Reservation Bill. While a whole lot of celebrities will be attending the grand event, Kangana has been chosen to do the Ranvan Dahan.

Meanwhile, the actress will be seen playing the role of an IAF Pilot in the movie Tejas. Produced by RSVP, Tejas stars Kangana Ranaut in the titular Role. Written and Directed By Sarvesh Mewara and Produced By Ronnie Screwvala, the film is scheduled to be released in Theatres on October 27, 2023.
