Kangana Ranaut Wants the ‘3 Khans’ to Star in Her Film
Talking about the three Khans, Kangana Ranaut said, “I would love to produce and direct a film with all three Khans. And I would also love to show their talented side of theirs, wherein they can act, and also look good. And they can also do something, which is very significant to society. I would like to make a film like that. Because I think they are all very talented,”
The BJP MR further added, “‘What they are doing is… of course they are adding a lot of revenue to the film industry and we should be eternally grateful to them. Also, they are engaging with a mass of people, who need that kind of engagement. I think there is a very artistic side to all three of them, which has not been explored other than in just a few films. And I would love to explore that with (them) and so many other actors. One actor that I always regret not being able to direct is Irfan Khan saab (sir); he is one of my favourite Khans and I will always miss him.”
Take a look at the Emergency Trailer:
The recently released trailer hints at a diverse range of themes tackled in the film. These include the ‘Emergency’ period, the important Shimla Agreement between India and Pakistan, the inception of the Khalistan movement, and the famed JP Andolan, among other captivating subjects.
Kangana wore multiple hats in the production of the film, assuming the roles of both the director and producer while also stepping into the shoes of Indira Gandhi, who instituted the emergency period in India as Prime Minister in 1975. Alongside her, big names like Anupam Kher, Shreyas Talpade, Milind Soman, and Mahima Choudhry dazzled on screen, including a memorable performance by the departed Satish Kaushik. The film is all set to release on September 6, 2024
