My heart is full of gratitude and wherever I go people ask me about Emergency’s release date.

Kangana was recently seen in Tamil film Chandramukhi 2 and has Tejas releasing later this month. The four-time National Award-winner added that a new release date will be shared in due time and urged fans to be patient. “New release date will be announced soon, please bear with us, your anticipation, curiosity and excitement for the film means a lot,” she concluded the note.
Emergency will be a retelling of the political turmoil caused by the National Emergency announced by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in 1975, a move aimed at trampling her political opponents. The film will see Kangana play PM Gandhi and also mark her directorial debut.
The film, which is now slated to be released next year, also stars Anupam Kher, Shreyas Talpade, Mahima Chaudhary, Milind Soman, and Ashok Chhabra. It is also likely to be the late Satish Kaushik’s final film appearance.
