Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut is generating buzz with her upcoming film “Emergency”, in which she portrays former Indian prime minister Indira Gandhi. During a recent interview with India Today, Ranaut made a bold comparison, likening her film to Christopher Nolan's acclaimed “Oppenheimer” and even describing it as a modern-day Shakespearean tragedy akin to “Macbeth”.
“Emergency”, directed by Kangana Ranaut herself, features an ensemble cast including Mahima Chaudhary, Anupam Kher, Shreyas Talpade, Milind Soman, Shreyas Talpade, Vishak Nair, and the late Satish Kaushik, among others.

In the aftermath of being slapped by a CISF constable at Chandigarh airport, actor turned BJP MP-elect Kangana Ranaut has condemned those mocking the incident. Kangana asserted that individuals celebrating the violence against her should examine their own “psychological criminal tendencies.”
Reposting a tweet that suggested that the CISF officer's act might be politically motivated, Kangana wrote, “This makes most sense to me. She strategically waited for me to cross her and in signature Khalistani style, quietly came from behind and hit my face without saying a word. When I asked why she did that, she looked away and started to speak to the phone cameras focused on her, hogging sudden public attention. Farmers' Laws have been repealed and they don't concern anyone anymore probably this was her way of joining Khalistani bandwagon, which is getting major political seats in Punjab.”
