Kangana’s Shakespearean Drama: ‘Emergency’ Unveiling Indira Gandhi’s Life Like Never Before
Arre bhai, Kangana Ranaut is back again, and this time she’s diving headfirst into political drama with her upcoming film, "Emergency." The queen of controversy is not just acting but also directing this magnum opus based on the tumultuous Emergency period of 1975-1977. Aur bhai sahab, she’s comparing Indira Gandhi’s life to a Shakespearean tragedy! 😲 What next, Shakespearean sonnets in Lok Sabha? 🤣
Kangana’s Shakespearean Tragedy – Swag Alert!
So, Kangana tells Variety that Indira Gandhi’s life was no less than a Shakespearean tragedy. She even quoted the legendary cultural activist Pupul Jayakar’s biography of Indira. Bhai, imagine the former PM saying, “I feel as if I’m riding this ferocious, cruel beast, which I started to love riding initially, but now I don’t think I can get off of it.” Wah wah! Indira Gandhi in a Shakespearean drama? Kuch zyada hi high-fi ho gaya, nahi?
But hold on, Kangana’s not just spilling gyaan; she’s emphasizing that Emergency is not a boring history class. Arrey, it’s a dramatic exploration of power and its consequences. She adds, “Her life was such a Shakespearean tragedy. It’s not for us to judge or evaluate. It is what it is. When people see the film, they will realize that it is such an honest take on the Emergency, what led to it, and what eventually came of it.”
Emergency Alert: Release Date Announced!
Madame Kangana has also announced the release date of her Emergency. She shared a new poster on her Instagram handle that features not just her but also Milind Soman as Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw, Anupam Kher, Shreyas Talpade, and Vishwak Nair as Jayaprakash Narayan, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, and Sanjay Gandhi, respectively.
