Actress Kangana Ranaut took to social media platform Koo to announce that she will be directing her upcoming project titled 'Emergency', based on former prime minister Indira Gandhi. Ever since she was banned from Twitter for her instigating posts, Ranaut has been active on the Indian app.
The National Award-winning actor wrote, “Pleased to wear director’s hat again, after working on 'Emergency' for more than a year I finally figured no one can direct it better than me. Collaborating with fabulous writer Ritesh Shah, even if it means sacrificing on various acting assignments I am determined to do, my excitement is high. This is going to be a tremendous journey, my leap to another league #Emergency #Indira.”
She had clarified in an earlier statement that the movie is not a biopic, but a political drama. Kangana said, “It is not the biopic of Indira Gandhi. It is a grand period film. To be precise, it is a political drama that will help my generation to understand the socio-political landscape of current India.” The project will be penned by Ritesh Shah of 'Pink', and 'Kahaani' fame.
On the work front, Kangana has 'Thalaivi', 'Tejas', 'Dhaakad', and 'Manikarnika Returns : The Legend of Didda' in the pipeline.
