MUMBAI: Kangana Ranaut is currently busy shooting for her upcoming directorial project ‘Emergency’ which essays the role of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. The film’s narrative is based upon the emergency declared in India between 1975 to 1977. While the movie is still being shot, it has landed in a political controversy.
The film's teaser featured Kangana looking uncannily similar to India’s former PM and one of the political parties has reportedly objected to the actress portraying late Indira Gandhi on the big screen.

Reacting to the controversy, state BJP spokesperson Rajpal Singh Sisodia was quoted saying, “Emergency is a black spot on the country’s democracy and Indira Gandhi was the heroine during it, and hence they need not worry."
