Kangana, portraying former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in the film, is depicted informing the President that she embodies the "cabinet." Anupam Kher takes on the role of Jayaprakash Narayan, who corresponds with her through a letter from prison. Shreyas Talpade is cast as the late Atal Bihari Vajpayee.

Kangana essays former PM, Indira Gandhi

Kangana's character asserts in the Assembly that the sole means of embracing the truth is through the declaration of war. She opposes all other leaders in making this determination. Milind Soman, portraying Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw, inquires whether she desires a war. Her response is a glance that unequivocally indicates her willingness for conflict.

The nation subsequently descends into turmoil, violence, and loss as Kangana's portrayal of Indira chooses to declare an Emergency. As the video concludes, her voice resonates with the declaration, "Indira is India." Kangana effectively depicts the former Prime Minister's struggle against the opposition to enforce her decision.

In a post on X, Kangana remarked, “1975, Emergency — A pivotal moment in Indian History. Indira: India’s most formidable woman. Her aspirations reshaped the country, yet her #EMERGENCY led it into disorder.”

About Emergency

The political drama is crafted, directed, and co-produced by Kangana. It is set to premiere in theatres on January 17. Titled "Emergency," the film explores the emergency declared by the former Prime Minister, which lasted for 21 months from 1975 to 1977, along with its subsequent effects.

The cast includes Mahima Chaudhry portraying Pupul Jayakar, Ashok Chhabra as Morarji Desai, Vishak Nair in the role of Sanjay Gandhi, and the late Satish Kaushik as Jagjivan Ram. Initially, the film was slated for release on September 6, 2024, but it was unable to meet this date due to a lack of approval from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).
