On June 14, audiences can anticipate the theatrical release of actor Kangana Ranaut's latest cinematic venture, "Emergency," as announced by the makers on Tuesday.
Ranaut, who not only stars in the film but also takes on the roles of writer and director, portrays the character of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Describing "Emergency" as her most ambitious project and second directorial effort after "Manikarnika," Ranaut expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration of Indian and international talents in creating this grand period drama.
Originally slated for release on November 24, 2023, the film underwent a postponement due to adjustments in Ranaut's schedule. Produced by Zee Studios and Manikarnika Films, "Emergency" is positioned as a mega-budget depiction of one of the most contentious episodes in the history of Indian democracy.
At the heart of the narrative is the portrayal of Mrs. Indira Gandhi, the first woman Prime Minister of India, described as one of the most sensational leaders of all time, according to the official logline.
The star-studded cast includes Anupam Kher, Mahima Chaudhary, Milind Soman, Shreyas Talpade, Vishak Nair, and the late Satish Kaushik. Ritesh Shah, renowned for his work on "Pink," has lent his expertise to crafting the screenplay and dialogues for the movie. As anticipation builds, "Emergency" promises to deliver a cinematic experience that captures the essence of this pivotal period in Indian political history.
