Kangana Ranaut, who is eagerly awaiting the release of her directorial film Emergency, invited Wayanad MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra to watch the movie. Kangana directed and acted in the film, playing the role of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, who was Priyanka's grandmother. Kangana, who is also an MP from Himachal Pradesh's Mandi constituency, shared details about her meeting with Priyanka in Parliament during a conversation with IANS.
She said," I actually met Priyanka Gandhi in the parliament. And the first thing I told her was, 'You should watch the emergency'. She was very gracious'. She said, 'Yeah may be'. So let's see if they would want to watch the film. I think it's a very sensitive and sensible portrayal of one episode and one personality also. And I have taken great care to portray Mrs. Gandhi with great dignity. Because I see when I started to do a lot of research, there was so much focus and so much material about her personal life, whether it was her relationship with her husband or many friends or controversial equations."
She further added, " I thought to myself that there is so much more to every person. When it comes to women, especially, they're always reduced to their equation with men around them. And of course, sensational encounters. In fact, most of the controversial material was about all that. But I have portrayed her with so much dignity and sensibility. And I think that everybody should see this film,''
The movie Emergency is set to release in theaters on January 17, 2025. Along with Kangana Ranaut, the cast includes Shreyas Talpade as Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Milind Soman as Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw, Mahima Chaudhry as Pupul Jayakar, the late Satish Kaushik as Jagjivan Ram, and Anupam Kher as Jayaprakash Narayan.
