Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut will not be doing Homi Adajania's next film primarily due to date issues.
Homi has roped in Sushant Singh Rajput and Irrfan Khan for his next film.
The "Cocktail" director was in talks with Kangana for this project but things did not work out between them.
"Homi (Adajania) has narrated the (story) idea to Kangana (Ranaut) and she is keen to work with him. But she is already committed to Hansal Mehta's film after 'Rangoon'. And the dates are clashing. But they have promised to work with each other in the future," sources said.
The "Queen" actress is presently shooting for Vishal Bhardwaj's "Rangoon" alongside Shahid Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan.
The 28-year-old actress will be doing Hansal Mehta's film that is reportedly titled "Simran" and Ketan Mehta's movie on warrior-queen Rani Laxmibai.
While many have lauded Kangana's fearless response to
whole fued, she has also been criticised by some people.
Kangana says she is happy with the appreciation but does not consider herself special.
"I am an actor, I am here to do my job. Right now, I don't know how these tags like that of a fashion designer or a feminist fit into my scheme of things.
"But it is nice that these virtues have been bestowed upon me, that people think I have high morality standards and believe my creative energies are such that I can be an actor, director or a superhuman but I don't know if I am that special as people think about me."
Kangana feels she has not realised her true potential as an actress and she would want to concentrate on her work more now.
"Right now, I think I am doing fairly good. I am concentrating on my work. In fact, at times I feel I am not living up to the best of my abilities but I will manage. And one day I would love to be all this that people call me."
She recently won the National Award for "Tanu Weds Manu Returns", but her name was also reportedly recommended for a Padma Shri, which she did get.
The actress, however, is more than happy to have been left out as she thinks there's a long way to go before earning an honour like Padma Shri.
"I don't feel bad about it. I am too young for a Padma Shri. To be honest, I wouldn't want it right now. It's a big deal, and also if you misbehave they take it back. Something or the other keep happening in my life...," she said with a laugh.
"So, I think I've a long way to go before I get a Padma Shri... Padma Shri is more than just work, it's about being an ideal example to the rest of the country which I don't think I am.
