Kangana Ranaut is currently busy promoting her upcoming film, Emergency. The actor, who is also a politician, will appear on a new episode of Aap Ki Adaalat with Rajat Sharma. In a promo clip shared on X (formerly Twitter), Kangana was asked whether Congress MP Rahul Gandhi might end up liking her movie. Her reaction to this question was quite amusing. Emergency is based on the life of former Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, who was Rahul’s grandmother.
In the promo, when asked about her thoughts on Rahul Gandhi potentially liking Emergency, Kangana initially gave the audience a straight-faced look. She then remarked, “Agar woh ghar jaakar Tom & Jerry dekhte honge toh unhe kaise samajh ayegi (If he watches Tom & Jerry cartoons at home, how will he understand my film)?” In the teaser, Kangana also discussed why she chose to make a film on such a subject for her first solo directorial venture.
She explained, “Aap kehte toh hain ki woh controversial hain lekin it is also best kept secret. Humare generation ke paas jo he, uske baare mein koi information nahi hain (Even if you say it’s a controversial topic, it is also one of the best-kept secrets. Our generation doesn’t have any information about it).”
Recently, Kangana called Rahul Gandhi the “most dangerous man” who could “destroy the nation” if his aim of becoming Prime Minister is not realized. She wrote on X, “He is bitter, poisonous, and destructive…his agenda is that if he can’t be the Prime Minister, then he might as well destroy this nation. The Hindenburg report targeting our stock market that Rahul Gandhi was endorsing last night has turned out to be a damp squib.”
Emergency, which Kangana has directed and written, features a cast including Anupam Kher, Mahima Chaudhary, Milind Soman, Shreyas Talpade, Vishak Nair, and the late Satish Kaushik. The film is set for a theatrical release on September 6.
