Kangana had earlier spoken about the film. In a statement, she had said, “Emergency reflects one of the most important periods in Indian political hory which changed the way we view power and that’s why I decided to tell this story. Moreover, playing a public figure on screen is always a challenge because one has to get the look, the characterics and the persona right. I spent a significant amount of time researching the subject and once I felt I had enough ammunition, I commenced the film’s shoot.”
Emergency, produced Kangana’s home banner Manikarnika Films, will also feature Anupam Kher as Jayaprakash Narayan, Milind Soman as Sam Manekshaw, Shreyas Talpade as Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Mahima Choudhary as Pupul Jayakar.
