Kangana Ranaut Admits Directing ‘Emergency’ Was a Mistake! Here’s Why. Kangana Ranaut has addressed the delay in releasing her first solo directorial film, “Emergency.” The film has finally been scheduled for 17th January 2025. The bold actress now discussed various controversies surrounding the project and Kangana also admitted to making several mistakes. Despite these setbacks, Kangana remains hopeful and determined to make a significant impact with the film’s release. Now let’s check why Kangana regrets directing ‘Emergency’.
Kangana Ranut’s solo directorial Emergency has finally got its release date after multiple delays. The real-life political drama is all set to hit the theatres on 17th January 2025. Talking about the delay of the film Kangana said, “I felt that it was a wrong decision to release it in theatres. I thought I could have gotten a better deal on OTT. And I also wouldn’t have had to go through censorship then and my film wouldn’t have been dissected. I didn’t know what all they (the CBFC) would remove and let us keep.”
Recently Emergency director Kangana Ranaut candidly spoke about her upcoming film. Now the actress candidly admits directing the Emergency was a mistake. “I felt that I made the wrong choices on many levels: firstly, wanting to direct this film, and took it for granted that even though we don’t have a Congress government… I previously talked about the movie Kissa Kursi Ka. Nobody has seen that film to date and back then, they burnt all the prints. Also, nobody made films about Mrs Gandhi. Upon watching Emergency, today’s generation will be surprised to think how she became like that; after all, she became PM three times. I underestimated things and thought that I would be able to get away by making a film on Emergency.”
The real-life political drama Emergency directed by Kangana Ranaut portrays as PM Indira Gandhi in the film. The film also stars Shreyas Talpade, Anupam Kher, Mahima Chaudhry, Ashok Chhabra, Milind Soman, and Vishak Nair in prominent roles. The film will hit the big screens from 17th January 2025 coinciding with Republic Day.
