Kangana Ranaut Pulls Off a Major Political Coup with Exclusive Screening of Emergency

New Delhi, Jan 12 (PTI) In a move that is being seen as a major political manoeuvre, actor and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut organised a special screening of her upcoming film Emergency for Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, setting tongues wagging in both Bollywood and political circles. The film, which is based on the Emergency era in India, has been in the news for its controversial portrayal of the period and its key players.

According to sources close to the development, the special screening was held at a plush auditorium in New Delhi, with Minister Gadkari being the guest of honour. Kangana, who has been vocal about her support for the BJP and its ideology, is said to have personally invited the Minister to the screening, which was attended by a select group of politicians and industry insiders.

The screening is being seen as a significant event, given the current political climate in the country. With the general elections looming large, the BJP is leaving no stone unturned to garner support from all quarters, and Kangana’s move is being viewed as an attempt to strengthen her party’s ties with the film industry.

Emergency, which is directed by Kangana herself, is a period drama that revolves around the life of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and her decision to impose the Emergency in 1975. The film has been in the news for its controversial portrayal of the Congress party and its leaders, with many accusing Kangana of attempting to stir up trouble ahead of the elections.

Despite the controversy surrounding the film, Kangana remains undeterred, saying that she is committed to telling the truth about the Emergency era and its impact on the country. “I am not afraid of controversy or criticism,” she said in a recent interview. “As an artist, it is my duty to tell the stories that need to be told, no matter how uncomfortable they may be.”

The special screening of Emergency has sparked off a debate about the role of art and cinema in politics, with many questioning the timing of the film’s release. While some have praised Kangana for her courage in taking on a sensitive subject, others have accused her of attempting to influence public opinion ahead of the elections.

As the debate rages on, one thing is clear - Kangana Ranaut has once again managed to stay in the headlines, this time for her political manoeuvrings as much as her cinematic endeavours. With Emergency set to hit the screens soon, all eyes will be on the film and its impact on the political landscape of the country.
