Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 14 : Veteran actor Anupam Kher praised actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut during the trailer launch of her upcoming film 'Emergency' and said people can draw inspiration from her personality.
Speaking on the occasion, Kangana quipped that though her PR team had given her an advice not to speak, Kher nudged her to talk to the media.
"My PR team has said that 'we will not open it to media. Aapko bolne ki azaadi nahi hai (you don't have the freedom to speak)'. Think about it. So Anupamji said, no, no, open it to the media. They are our friends. There is no need to put an emergency here," she said.
"People who are waiting to overwrite this product with negativity will invest in the PRs to malign the film and to unnecessarily take away from the film. That's our only concern. People (in film industry) can be extremely negative...this is why I am a little hesitant otherwise I speak in the Parliament, so there is no issue," she added.
Kher said he has been part of Kangana's journey.
"Kangana vo shaksiyat hai jisko dil see dekhkar har insaan chahe to inspire ho sakta hai... I have been part of her journey..It's amazing the way she has made this film."
Mahima Chaudhry and Shreyas Talpade were also present at trailer launch event of 'Emergency'
Prior to the trailer launch, Kangana shared a post expressing her excitement, "From the conception of the idea to see the film on the big screen, nothing is more gratifying than being a film maker. Today is a very special day, on the trailer launch of my directorial Emergency the journey of Emergency from me to you begins. I can't be happier a piece of me will live in the world long after I am gone. Happy to extend myself to you all, waiting to be a part of you all, nothing is more intimate than telling a story. Nothing is more intimate than letting audience enter your mind and emotions and share your perception with them. Welcome to my world as a story teller. #Emergency 6th September 2024"
