Delhi, 8 January- As she prepares for her next film, “Emergency,” actress Kangana Ranaut has revealed that she invited politician Priyanka Gandhi Vadra to see the film.
The movie is based on the 21-month period between 1975 and 1977, during which former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi proclaimed a nationwide state of emergency, citing both external and domestic threats.
Prior to the film’s January 17 release, the actress, who plays Indira Gandhi in the movie, talked with IANS.

She said, “I actually met Priyanka Gandhi in the parliament, and the first thing I told her was, ‘You should watch the emergency’. She was very gracious. She said, ‘Yeah, may be’. So let’s see if they would want to watch the film. I think it’s a very sensitive and sensible portrayal of one episode and personality, and I have taken great care to portray Mrs. Gandhi with great dignity because I see, when I started to do a lot of research, there was so much focus and material about her personal life, whether it was her relationship with her husband or friends or controversial equations.”
Kangana added, “I thought to myself that there is so much more to every person. When it comes to women, especially, they’re always reduced to their equation with men around them, and of course, sensational encounters. In fact, most of the controversial material was about all that, but I have portrayed her with so much dignity and sensibility. I think that everybody should see this film.”
“Apart from some very crazy things that happened during the emergency, I think she was very loved and celebrated. Being a three-time Prime Minister is not a joke,” Kangana said.
