Kangana Ranaut wraps up shooting for 'Queen 2'
Mumbai, June 30
Kangana Ranaut has officially completed filming for 'Queen 2', the much-awaited sequel to her acclaimed film 'Queen'.
The actor-filmmaker shared the update on her Instagram stories, sharing a glimpse of the wrap-up celebrations with the cast and crew after an extensive production schedule that began earlier this year.
The behind-the-scenes clip showed Ranaut celebrating the conclusion of the shoot alongside the film's team, signalling the end of principal photography.
With filming now complete, the project enters the post-production stage ahead of its theatrical release.
While the makers are yet to announce an official release date.
'Queen 2' marks the return of Ranaut's celebrated character, Rani, whose journey of self-discovery made the original film one of the most memorable Hindi films of the past decade.
The original 'Queen', released in 2014, was directed by Vikas Bahl and received widespread critical acclaim.
Kangana Ranaut delivered a career-defining performance as Rani Mehra, a sheltered young woman from Delhi who embarks on her honeymoon alone after her fiance played by Rajkummar Rao, calls off their wedding.
During her journey through Europe, Rani gains confidence, embraces independence and rediscovers herself.
The film featured Rajkummar Rao as Vijay, Rani's fiance, Lisa Haydon as her free-spirited friend Vijayalakshmi, Mish Boyko as Oleksander and Jeffrey Ho as Taka.
It was produced by Anurag Kashyap, Vikramaditya Motwane and Madhu Mantena, with music composed by Amit Trivedi.

Finally! After all the delays and drama, it's good to see the shoot completed. But I'm a bit skeptical—can they really capture the magic of the original? Rani's journey in Europe was so organic. I hope the sequel doesn't feel forced. Fingers crossed for a December release! 🎬
I remember watching 'Queen' back in 2014—it was such a refreshing film for Bollywood. Kangana was brilliant as Rani. Let's hope the sequel doesn't fall into the trap of being a cash grab. The original didn't need a sequel, but if done well, it could be special. Also, love that they kept the same team!
Kangana is a powerhouse performer, no doubt. But honestly, I'm more curious about the story than the release date. The first film was about finding yourself after a heartbreak—what's the arc now? Is Rani married? Successful? I hope they don't make it too preachy. Also, will Rajkummar Rao be back? 🤔
I love that they're making a sequel! 'Queen' was one of those films that stayed with me long after the credits rolled. But I really hope the post-production team does justice to the music. Amit Trivedi's soundtrack was magical—'London Thumakda' is still on my playlist! Please don't ruin it with random remixes. 🎶
As a fan of the original, I'm cautiously optimistic. Kangana has a vision as a filmmaker, but 'Queen 2' needs to feel like a natural continuation,
