In an announcement on their Instagram handle, the production team stated, “Our queen Kangana Ranaut prioritizes her duty to the nation and her commitment to serve the country, hence the release date of ‘Emergency’ has been postponed.”
Ranaut is venturing into politics by contesting the Lok Sabha elections 2024 from Mandi, Himachal Pradesh.

Directed and produced by Ranaut herself, ‘Emergency’ features her in the lead role portraying former Prime Minister of India, Indira Gandhi.
Co-written by Ranaut and Ritesh Shah, the historical biopic also stars Anupam Kher, Shreyas Talpade, Mahima Chaudhry, Milind Soman, and the late actor Satish Kaushik.
