Kangana Ranaut is not just playing the lead in Emergency but is also directing it.
Earlier, both, Kangana Ranaut’s Emergency and Tiger Shroff’s Ganpath were scheduled to hit theatres on Ocotber 20, 2023.
Ever since the first look of Kangana Ranaut’s Emergency released, fans have been eagerly waiting for the movie. On Saturday, Kangana took to her Instagram handle to share the teaser of her directorial movie. The short clip also features Anupam Kher and reveals how the film will revolve around the time when the Emergency was imposed by the Indira Gandhi-led government in India in 1975.
Along with the teaser, Kangana also announced the new release date of the movie i.e. November 24, 2023. “Emergency is one of the most significant and darkest chapters in our history that young India needs to know. It is a crucial story and I want to thank my super-talented actors like late Satish ji, Anupam ji, Shreyas, Mahima, and Milind for embarking on this creative journey together. I am excited to bring this extraordinary episode from India’s history to the big screen. Jaihind!” the actress said.
Since Emergency will now hit theatres on November 24, it means that the film will not clash with Tiger Shroff and Kriti Sanon’s Ganpath at the box office.
Earlier, Emergency was scheduled to hit theatres on October 20. However, when the makers of Ganpath also decided to release their movie on the same date, Kangana lashed out at them. “Announced his film on 20th October, entire October is free so is November, December and even September but today Mr Amitabh Bachchan and Tiger Shroff announced their ambitious project on 20th October, ha ha lagta hai panic meetings ho rahi hai Bollywood mafia gangs mein,” she Tweeted.
Kangana Ranaut announced Emergency in 2021 and later clarified that even though Emergency is a political drama, it is not Indira Gandhi’s biopic. The actress is not just playing the lead in the film but is also directing it. Besides Kangana, the film also stars Anupam Kher, Milind Soman, Mahima Chaudhry and Shreyas Talpade among others.
