Kangana is undervalued by Bollywood: Milan Luthria

Having directed her in upcoming gangster film Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai, Milan Luthria can't stop raving about Kangana Ranaut's acting skills.

Having directed her in upcoming gangster film Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai, Milan Luthria can't stop raving about Kangana Ranaut's acting skills and says she is yet to have her moment of glory in Bollywood.

"Kangana is undervalued by our industry. She is immensely talented but has yet not touched the highest spot. But we'll see her there in a very short while," Luthria told IANS.

"She brings to the screen a lot of sensuality and glamour. She carries off even skimpy outfits and different kind of looks. She is someone who has the body and the face to carry that," he added.

The 23-year-old has bagged critical acclaim for her performance in movies like Gangster, Woh Lamhe, Life in a... Metro and Fashion.

Luthria had words of praise for Emraan Hashmi as well and said both of them were similar in some ways.

"Both Emraan and Kangana are very flamboyant in their approach. They've lived very dangerously with the kind of roles they've done and have always pushed the envelope...

"That's what has given them a very commercial connect with the audience. They are like underdogs and do things that others don't," the director added.
