For a long time, Kangana Ranaut has been busy with her new film Emergency depicting one
of the most controversial chapters of Indian democracy – She has gone on records to say that
projecting Indira Gandhi was a challenge. Just the transformation into the Iron Lady of
India – the grey hair, the hooked nose and wrinkled jowls, with the aid of prosthetics was a
daunting exercise day after day. What rejuvenated her was collaborating with Oscar-winning
makeup artist David Malinowski, who transformed Gary Oldman into Winston Churchill in
The Darkest Hour. The trailer of Emergency has made everyone curious and Ranaut’s
projection of the late Prime Minister’s mannerisms a topic of discussion.
Written and directed by Kangana Ranaut, Emergency also features Anupam Kher, Mahima
Chaudhary, Milind Soman, Shreyas Talpade, Vishak Nair, and the late Satish Kaushik in
pivotal roles. Produced by Zee Studios and Manikarnika Films, the film’s music is
orchestrated by Sanchit Balhara and G V Prakash Kumar with screenplay and dialogues by
Ritesh Shah. The film is slated for a theatrical release on the 6th of September 2024.
