Mumbai Mumbai. Kangana Ranaut, who plays Indira Gandhi in her new film “Emergency”, said she did extensive research on it and now believes the former prime minister was not as powerful as she thought, but “weak” and Kangana, the first-time MP from Mandi, who is often in the news for her inflammatory comments, also said that no director is worthy of her today.
“I am very proud to say that today there is not a single director in the film industry with whom I would like to work, because they do not have that kind of quality… I think they deserve me,” Kangana. Kangana Ranaut, who directed and produced the film depicting the 21-month emergency imposed by the then Prime Minister in 1975, said in a video interview to PTI ahead of the release of the much-talked about film “Emergency”, said she She is sympathetic to Indira Gandhi and considered her very powerful until she started working on this project.
“But when I did my research, I realized it was quite the opposite. It further strengthened my belief that the more vulnerable you are, the more control you want. She was a very weak person and she She was also very unsure of herself and was really vulnerable.” She had several crutches and was constantly looking for some kind of validation. She was very dependent on many people, one of them was Sanjay Gandhi… I didn't have that kind of sympathy for her before the 'Emergency',” he said.
The “Queen” star said she “didn't take liberties at all” in her portrayal of Indira Gandhi and the months of Emergency. Ranaut also said she met Indira Gandhi's granddaughter and fellow MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra in Parliament and she talked about the film. “I met Mrs. Priyanka Gandhi in Parliament and she complimented my work and my hair. So I thought, 'You know, I made this film Emergency and maybe you should watch it'. And she said, 'Okay, maybe',” Ranaut said, recalling her brief conversation with the Congress MP from Wayanad.
“And I think if they have even a little bit of acceptance for what happened, they will appreciate the film,” she said. Ranaut said the film is not made with the intention of hurting people or their sentiments, That's why cuts have not been made. “Since the film was not made with that intention, even if it is removed, it will not affect my story.” “Emergency” will release on January 17 after months of controversy over the censor certificate and allegations of misrepresenting the Sikh community.
It was scheduled to release on September 6, 2024, as it was unable to obtain the clearance certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). Following this, Ranaut accused the CBFC of obstructing the certification. The case went to the Bombay High Court, where production banner Zee Studios finally agreed to follow the changes suggested by the CBFC's revision committee. She did not disclose the number of cuts directed by the CBFC, but said she wanted the film to be made in the same manner. The way it's released, the way they've made it.
According to Ranaut, people tried hard to stop “Emergency” from being released. “I was completely heartbroken. I thought maybe it would never be released. Because before that 'Kissa Kursi Ka' was based on Smt. Gandhi. A film named.
“I thought maybe it was bad luck or something that you couldn't make a film about them… and I had some investment in it. There were a lot of issues, obviously I was disappointed,” she told “Emergency”. Describing the film as “unusual and controversial”, Ranaut said that audiences are used to watching traditional Bollywood song-and-dance films. “But when you have something so unusual, people get a little uneasy about it.” How to make such a film Gave?' “It is controversial and speaks to a very important chapter of history.” Ranaut, 38, known for films like “Gangster”, “Tanu Weds Manu” franchise, “Fashion” and “Panga”, said she believes in the “power of authenticity”.
