Shreyas Talpade compares Kangana to Pushpa
While praising Kangana’s dedication towards the script of Emergency, Shreyas pointed out why he feels Kangana could be a part of the crime-saga Pushpa 3. He opined, “When Kangana approached me for the role of Atal ji, I didn’t know how to react. I was confused and terrified, I was like ‘What did she just ask me to do?’ Should I take it up or just leave it? Not because she is boycotted in the industry, but due to nervousness.”
The actor further said, “This one time, I was rehearsing for a scene in the film. And it went quite well. But, during the take, I tried to put something extra from my side, but she came and whispered in my ear. She said, ‘Whatever you practiced during the rehearsals, kindly stick to that.’ The way she multi-tasks, if tomorrow they make the third part of Pushpa, I think they should cast Kangana Ranaut because ‘Jhukega nahi saala kabhi bhi (Won’t bow down, come what may).’”
