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.
Bollywood actress Preity Zinta has expressed deep concern over the alleged attacks on Hindu communities in various parts of Bangladesh following the resignation of former prime minister Sheikh Hasina. The attacks targeted homes, businesses, and places of worship, leaving the actress "devastated" by the news.
Kangana Ranaut, the actress turned parliamentarian, recently took to her Instagram story to share her views on Monday memes. The "Queen" star stressed the need to normalise a rigorous work culture, stating that India, not being a developed nation, cannot afford laziness.
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 Farmers' Laws have been repealed and they don't concern anyone anymore probably this was her way of joining Khalistani bandwagon, which is getting major political seats in Punjab.”
The Indian constable who allegedly slapped Mandi MP and actor Kangana Ranaut at the Chandigarh airport for "disrespecting farmers" has been suspended, police said
This incident occurred just days after Ranaut's victory in the Lok Sabha elections from Mandi, Himachal Pradesh. According to the Election Commission website, the National Award-winning actor triumphed over Congress rival Vikramaditya Singh by a margin of 74,755 votes, securing 5,37,022 votes in her maiden political campaign.
This victory saw her defeat Congress candidate Vikramaditya Singh, who had previously contested in two assembly elections but was vying for a parliamentary seat for the first time.
The National Award winner expressed her views at the launch of film critic Anupama Chopra's book "The Front Row: Conversations Of Cinema".
The biopic of Bollywood's 'Tragedy Queen' Meena Kumari will star Kangana Ranaut in the lead role, according to a report on Mumbai Mirror.
