Kangana Ranaut organized an exclusive screening of her much-anticipated film Emergency in Nagpur, which took place on Saturday. The event saw the presence of Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, who attended in support, alongside Kangana’s co-star from the film, Anupam Kher. The screening sparked great excitement as the film's cast and political figures gathered to witness the first glimpse of the movie.

Kangana, who also directs and stars in the historical drama, has been receiving attention for her portrayal of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in Emergency.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), news agency PTI shared a video in which Kangana spoke about the film. "Today, we are actually having the first screening of the film. Before this, no one has seen the film. The censor board was extremely strict, and they conducted thorough scrutiny. We had to provide so much proof and documentation. After six months of struggle, the film is finally ready," Kangana mentioned.
