Kangana on Emergency and Indira Gandhi

Kangana on Emergency and Indira Gandhi. Kangana Ranaut makes her directorial debut with 'Emergency,' a period drama based on former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.

She refutes allegations of political bias in the film and emphasizes that it doesn't favor any political party.

Ranaut also highlights that judging a person should be based on their actions, not words, and clarifies that the film's release timing is unrelated to elections or political affiliations. She acknowledges how Indira Gandhi was treated during the Emergency era and praises PM Modi for promoting humanity with non-violence.

Kangana then went on to say that the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was bullied by Richard Nixon. “Maine khud Emergency me Mrs Gandhi ki biopic me kaam kia hai. Nixon ne unhe kis tarah se treat kia tha, ki buri baat media me bola tha aur kitna bully kia tha unko (When I researched Indira Gandhi, I found out how she was bullied by Richard Nixon). But now, with violence and only with love, PM Modi is literally holding the torch of humanity. We, Indians feel so proud,” 

'Emergency' features a star-studded cast and is set to release on November 24, 2023. Additionally, Kangana recently visited the new Parliament building to support the Women's Reservation Bill, commending the BJP for prioritizing women's empowerment.
