Mumbai: Fashion designer Neeta Lulla, best known for her outfits in period dramas such as ‘Jodha Akbar’ and ‘Devdas,’ has been roped as the costume designer for Kangana Ranaut-starrer ‘Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi’.

Lulla, who has four National film awards and over 300 films to her credit, says it is an honour to be associated with the project.

"Jhansi Ki Rani has been one of my favourite chapter in school and I'm quite excited to be working on my first women centric biopic," Lulla said in a statement.

Produced by Zee Studios and Kamal Jain, & co-produced by Nishant Pitti, ‘Manikarnika’ is expected to be released in April next year.

Directed by Krish Jagarlamudi, the film will go on floor this month.
