Kangana Offers Priyanka Gandhi to Watch ‘Emergency’ Film

Kangana mentioned that Priyanka often speaks about her grandmother. Additionally, she frequently references her late grandmother, Indira Gandhi, in her speeches and has mentioned drawing inspiration from her. 

Kangana shared that when she met Priyanka Gandhi in Parliament, she asked her if she would watch the film Emergency. Priyanka responded, “Yes, maybe,” to which Kangana replied, “You will like it.”

Kangana Talks About the Film

Kangana spoke about the film, mentioning that her portrayal of Indira Gandhi’s character has its own sensitivity and depth. 

The film depicts the period of the “Emergency” imposed in India. She said, “I believe this is a very sensitive and intellectual depiction of an event and a personality. I have taken great care to portray Mrs. Gandhi with respect and pride.”

Opportunity to Learn About Indira Gandhi

Kangana mentioned that during the research for the film, she focused a lot on Indira Gandhi’s personal life. She said, “I thought to myself, there is so much more to learn about a person. I have paid special attention to portraying this role.”

The Film to Release on January 17

In this film, Kangana Ranaut, Anupam Kher, Shreyas Talpade, Satish Kaushik, Milind Soman, and Mahima Chaudhary are playing the roles of political leaders of the country. The film is directed by Kangana Ranaut herself. 

It is set to release on January 17. Except for Manikarnika, all of Kangana Ranaut’s films in the past 9 years have been box-office failures. Now, Kangana and her fans have high expectations from this film.

Film’s Release Delayed Due to Lack of Certification

The film Emergency was initially scheduled to release on June 14, 2024. However, it was postponed due to the Lok Sabha elections. The film was then set for release on September 6, 2024, but just days before its release, the Censor Board refused to provide certification for the film. It was claimed that the film contained controversial scenes that could disrupt public peace.

On August 30, Kangana revealed that her film Emergency had passed the certification process, but due to pressure from certain powerful individuals, the Censor Board had denied it certification. Kangana then approached the High Court regarding the matter. Additionally, there were calls to ban the film in Telangana due to some objectionable scenes involving the Sikh community.

Film Receives Censor Board Approval on October 17

While the certification issue was still pending, the release of the film was halted. Several complaints were filed against Kangana across the country, and there were demands to ban the film. 

The Sikh community also strongly opposed Kangana and the film. On October 17, Kangana Ranaut confirmed that the Censor Board had approved the film.

Kangana’s Upcoming Project ‘Bharat Bhagya Vidhata’

Kangana Ranaut has announced her upcoming project, Bharat Bhagya Vidhata. She shared the news on Twitter, stating, “Get ready to witness the magic of real-life bravery on the screen. I’m excited to announce this film.”
