Following numerous postponements, Kangana Ranaut’s film “Emergency,” in which she portrays former Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, is now poised for a theatrical debut. The actress revealed the release date and shared a new poster on Instagram. Take a look.
After facing numerous delays, Kangana Ranaut’s highly anticipated film, “Emergency,” is finally scheduled to grace the big screens. The actress, who actively participated in the Ram Mandir consecration ceremony on Monday, took to her social media platforms the following day to unveil the release date for the upcoming historical drama. Describing former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi as a formidable force, Kangana announced, ”Unlock the story behind India’s darkest hour. Announcing #Emergency on 14th June 2024. Witness history come alive as the most feared and fiercest Prime Minister #IndiraGandhi thunders into cinemas.”
In October of the previous year, Kangana had declared a delay in the film’s release and emphasized that “Emergency” was not merely a movie but a test of her values and character as an individual.
In her statement, she expressed, ”Dear friends, I have an important announcement to make. Emergency movie is the culmination of my entire life’s learnings and earnings as an artist. Emergency is not just a film for me; it’s a test of my worth and character as an individual. Tremendous response that our teaser and other units got from everyone encouraged us all. My heart is full of gratitude, and wherever I go, people ask me about Emergency’s release date. We had initially announced Emergency’s release date as 24th November 2023, but due to changes in my back-to-back film release calendar and an overpacked last quarter of 2024, we have decided to shift Emergency to the next year (2024).”
