In Pics: Kangana Ranaut begins prep to play Indira Gandhi

Kangana Ranaut gave a glimpse into her preparation for her next project titled Emergency on Wednesday. The film is based on the life of India’s first and only woman Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi. Kangana took to her Instagram stories to share clicks from her process of transforming into the political leader. The Tanu Weds Manu actor wrote, “Guess what is going on in @manikarnikafilms ??” and in yet another story, she wrote, “Body scans for film Emergency, time to get in to Madam Prime Minister Indira Gandhi ji’s skin.”

Emergency will be helmed by filmmaker Sai Kabir. Kangana had earlier said that the movie won’t be a biopic but will cover significant moments of Indian political history including Operation Blue Star and The Emergency. Kangana is currently awaiting the release of her next big film Thalaivi where she plays the role of cine icon and former Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalithaa. The biopic’s Tamil version recently got an ‘U’ certificate from the CBFC, and will release in theatres soon, after getting delayed due to the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic.
