INDIA.Mumbai: Kangana Ranaut recently launched the first look of her next film, Emergency, in which she plays the role of former Prime Minister of India Indira Gandhi. The official clip is labelled first look, implying that filming for the movie is already begun.
The first look description reads, “An upcoming film slated for release in 2023, Emergency is based on true events that unfolded in 1975. The film chronicles incidents that took place under the leadership of Mrs Indira Gandhi, one of the most Powerful Women in Indian History.”
The teaser commences with a composition of intense music mixed that draws our attention to the set pieces before being interrupted by the sound of the telephone. Later, we observe a man pick up a phone and hear the voice of former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger stating if American President Richard Nixon could address the Indian Prime Minister as “Madam” instead of “Sir.”
Following the phone sequence, the camera gradually showcase the prime minister’s office. We eventually get a proper view of Kangana Ranaut as Indira Gandhi, saying, “Tell the President of America that everyone in my office addresses me as Sir, not Madam.”
The first glimpse features Kangana as the former Indian Prime Minister, where she is totally unrecognisable. Kangana’s incredible transformation is entirely due to Oscar winner David Malinowski. The Academy Award winner has previously worked on films such as The Batman (2022), The Darkest Hour (2017), and World War Z (2013).
The Manikarnika star posted the first look on her social media account. The teaser was captioned, “Presenting ‘Her,’ who was called ‘Sir’.” Kangana also published a poster for the film alongside the teaser.
Kangana adds her directorial vision to the film while starring herself in the lead, which is set to be produced by her production company, Manikarnika Films.
