Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi’s box office collections might get affected because of another high-profile, Indian biographical film Thackeray featuring Nawazuddin Siddiqui, which is scheduled to release on the same date. Because of the Thackeray (film), there are high chances that Manikarnika may not earn much in Maharashtra region.
