The actress shared a throwback photo of Indira Gandhi alongside an image of herself portraying the former Prime Minister in her upcoming film ‘Emergency’.The post appeared on her Instagram stories, highlighting her transformation for the role.
Along with the picture, she captioned, “Real and reel… Nothing more admirable than the sincerity of authenticity… team #emergency.”.
In ‘Emergency’, Kangana not only stars as former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi but also directs the film. Its release, originally set for September 6, has been delayed due to pending censor board certification. The film faces criticism from Sikh groups, who claim it misrepresents their community.
Recent reports indicate that ‘Emergency’ has received a UA certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), contingent on three edits and the provision of factual sources for certain historical quotes. This includes remarks by US President Richard Nixon on Indian women and Winston Churchill‘s comments on Indians, as reported by The Sunday Express.
