Kangana Ranaut's Emergency movie

Directed by Kangana Ranaut and produced by Manikarnika Films and Zee Studio, the Emergency movie is set in 1975, one of the most turbulent phases in Indian history. The story revolves around how Indira Gandhi, one of India's most influential and controversial leaders, navigated the 21-month Emergency period in India.

Despite the clear political narrative that Emergency has, Kangana Ranaut emphasised that Emergency is "not a political film" but rather a story. “It has nothing to do with politics. You may find it very bizarre right now, but eventually, it is not about any party. You will come out feeling that you just saw the film; you won’t come out thinking about who you will vote for. You were only enlightened about that episode," she said in an interview.
