Mumbai, July 14: Kangana Ranaut on Thursday, shared the first teaser of her next film, Emergency, where she plays the role of the former prime minister Indira Gandhi. In the promo video, Kangana is seen donning the look of the late PM.
Her transformation has been done by Oscar-winner David Malinowski who has worked on films such as Darkest Hour (2017), World War Z (2013) and The Batman (2022).
Kangana had shared a newspaper clip from 1975 saying, “These were the most dramatic events in the recent history of the world. What lead to the Emergency which was declared today and what were its consequence. In the centre of it was the most powerful woman in the world.This deserves a grand-scale epic film of its own. So see you in the theatres next year with #Emergency”.
She described directing the film a ‘tremendous journey’. “Pleased to wear director’s hat again. After working on Emergency for more than a year, I finally figured no one can direct it better than me. Collaborating with fabulous writer Ritesh Shah. Even if it means sacrificing on various acting assignments, I am determined to do it. My excitement is high. This is going to be a tremendous journey,” Kangana said on social media.
In the video, we see Ranaut getting a call from former US secretary of state Henry Kissinger, asking if American President Richard Nixon can address her as ‘Ma’am’, instead of sir. She takes a beat and says yes, but then turns to her secretary and asks him to inform the US President that everyone in her office refers to her as ‘Sir.’
She had shared the first clip with a caption saying, “Presenting ‘Her’ who was called ‘Sir’ #Emergency shoot begins.”
Her transformation has been done by Oscar-winner David Malinowski who has worked on films such as Darkest Hour (2017), World War Z (2013) and The Batman (2022).
