Mumbai: Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut, who will be seen playing the role of Indira Gandhi in her next film ‘Emergency’, shared an excerpt from a news clipping from the day of Emergency in 1975.
Kangana Ranaut shared a small anecdote from her upcoming film, on this day, June 25, 1975, when Emergency was declared.
The actress, who will also direct and produce the film, mentioned on her Instagram stories “These were the most dramatic events in the recent history of the world. What led to the declaration of emergency today and what were its consequences.
She continued: “At its center was the most powerful woman in the world. This in itself deserves an epic film of a grand scale. So see you in theaters next year with #Emergency.”
Kangana will play the late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in the upcoming political drama, which she will also produce. The film will reportedly feature Emergency and Operation Blue Star.
Kangana was last seen in ‘Dhaakad’. The film failed to impress the audience and registered low box office collections. Apart from Emergency, Kangana is also coming up with ‘Tikoo Weds Sheru’, which stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Avneet Kaur in lead roles.
