Kangana Ranaut’s highly anticipated film ‘Emergency’ has been rescheduled for release on September 6, 2024. The announcement came after Ranaut’s successful election campaign in Mandi, Himachal Pradesh. Following her electoral victory, the actor-turned-politician revealed the new release date with a striking poster on her Instagram, captioning it, “The Beginning of the 50th Year of Independent India’s Darkest Chapter, Announcing #KanganaRanaut’s #Emergency In Cinemas on 6th September 2024. The Explosive Saga of The Most Controversial Episode of The History of Indian Democracy, #EmergencyOn6Sept in cinemas worldwide.”
In a statement, Kangana expressed her inspiration from William Shakespeare’s ‘Macbeth,’ highlighting that the essence of ‘Emergency’ is the havoc unleashed when ambition goes unchecked by moral constraints. She described the film as one of the most sensational chapters of Indian democracy and eagerly anticipated its global release.
‘Emergency,’ directed and produced by Kangana Ranaut, features an impressive cast including Anupam Kher, Mahima Chaudhary, Milind Soman, Shreyas Talpade, Vishak Nair, and the late Satish Kaushik in significant roles. The film, backed by Zee Studios and Manikarnika Films, delves into one of India’s most turbulent political periods, promising a gripping portrayal of historical events. With a screenplay and dialogues by Ritesh Shah and music by Sanchit Balhara, ‘Emergency’ aims to captivate audiences with its dramatic depiction of a pivotal moment in Indian political history.
Kangana Ranaut’s political career also reached a milestone as she secured her first victory on a BJP ticket from Mandi in Himachal Pradesh. She took her oath as a member of Parliament on the first day of the 18th Lok Sabha, having defeated Congress candidate Vikramaditya Singh in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
