Kangana Ranaut’s upcoming film Emergency, set to release on September 6, has recently been thrust into the spotlight due to a wave of controversy and death threats aimed at the actress.
The film, which features Kangana in the role of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, has sparked heated debates and calls for a boycott from various groups.
Kangana Ranaut is currently promoting her upcoming film Emergency. The actor and politician will appear in a new episode of Aap Ki Adaalat with Rajat Sharma. In a promo clip shared on Twitter, Kangana was asked whether Congress MP Rahul Gandhi might end up liking her film. Her response was quite amusing.
Emergency is based on the life of former Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, who was Rahul Gandhi’s grandmother
What Kangana said
In the promo clip, when Kangana was asked about her reaction to Rahul Gandhi liking Emergency, she initially looked directly at the audience with a straight face. Then she added, “Agar woh ghar jaakar Tom & Jerry dekhte honge toh unhe kaise samajh ayegi (If he watches Tom & Jerry cartoon at home then how will he understand my film)?”
In the teaser, Kangana also shared why she decided to make a film on such a subject in her first solo directorial feature. She said, “Aap kehte toh hain ki woh controversial hain lekin it is also best kept secret. Humare generation ke paas jo he, uske baare mein koi information nahi hain (Even if you say that it is a controversial subject but it is also a best kept secret. Our generation has not been aware about any of the information in that regard).”
More details
Kangana recently called Rahul Gandhi the ‘most dangerous man’ who might as well ‘destroy the nation’ if his agenda of becoming the Prime Minister is not fulfilled. “He is bitter, poisonous and destructive…his agenda is that if he can’t be the Prime Minister then he might as well destroy this nation. The Hindenburg report targeting our stock market that Rahul Gandhi was endorsing last night has turned out to be a damp squib,” she wrote on X.
Emergency has been directed as well as written by Kangana. It also stars Anupam Kher, Mahima Chaudhary, Milind Soman, Shreyas Talpade, Vishak Nair, and the late Satish Kaushik. It is eyeing a release in theatres on September 6.
