Kangana Ranaut Encourages Priyanka Gandhi to Watch ‘Emergency’

Kangana Ranaut’s much-anticipated film Emergency, which explores a significant chapter in Indian history, has been making headlines recently. With the movie completing its censor formalities, the actress-turned-politician is gearing up for a massive release. In a recent interview, Kangana shared details about her film, including the censor cuts and her interactions with Priyanka Gandhi, whom she invited to watch the movie.

A Personal Invitation to Priyanka Gandhi from Kangana

Kangana revealed that she met Priyanka Gandhi in Parliament and took the opportunity to invite her to watch Emergency. She recalled saying, “Aapko Emergency dekhni chahiye,” to which Priyanka Gandhi graciously responded, “Yeah, maybe.” Kangana expressed her belief that Priyanka would enjoy the film, as it presents a sensitive and sensible portrayal of Indira Gandhi.

Portraying Indira Gandhi with Dignity

When speaking about playing the role of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, Kangana emphasized the care and respect she took in portraying the iconic leader. During her research for the film, Kangana noted how much attention was paid to Gandhi’s personal life and relationships. However, she made a conscious decision to focus on the larger aspects of her character, stating, “There is so much more to a person.”

Censor Cuts and Impact on the Film’s Message

Kangana also addressed the censor cuts in the film, explaining that some parts of the history had been removed. Despite this, she assured fans that the essence of the film remained intact. “We did not make the film to mock anyone,” she clarified. She expressed confidence that the movie’s core message of patriotism would resonate with audiences, regardless of the cuts.

BJP Allegations and Political Undertones

Following the release of the second trailer, there have been speculations that the film may be politically charged, benefiting the BJP over Congress. The film portrays the controversial period when Indira Gandhi declared an Emergency, which faced nationwide criticism. While some believe Kangana’s portrayal may reflect a political agenda, she maintains that the film is a genuine and respectful portrayal of the events of that time.

Emergency Set for Release

Despite the political undertones that some critics have pointed out, Emergency poised for its release on January 17th. Kangana, who both stars in and directs the film, is excited for audiences to experience the movie’s message and historical significance.
