“Can’t wait!” wrote one even as another expressed their hope with an “all-time blockbuster” remark. Additionally, congratulatory and best wishes messages flooded the comments section of the post.
Several social media users also pointed out the fact that Ranaut dropped the news at a time when Allu Arjun’s ‘Pushpa 2: The Rule’ had taken up all the hype with its trailer release just a while ago.
‘Emergency’ stars Kangana Ranaut as Indira Gandhi, Anupam Kher as Jayaprakash Narayan, Shreyas Talpade as Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Moreover, Mahima Chaudhry, Milind Soman, Satish Kaushik, and Vishak Nair will be seen in other prominent roles.
Incidentally, this movie will mark Kangana Ranaut’s second time as a director. The Mandi Member of Parliament had previously directed ‘Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi’ in 2019.
