Earlier when announcing the film wrap of Emergency, she revealed mortgaging all of her properties to shoot the film. Sharing a bundle of BTS photos, the actress wrote, “As I wrap Emergency as an actor today…. a tremendously glorious phase of my life comes to its full completion… It may seem I sailed through it comfortably but the truth is far from it…”.
She added, “From mortgaging all my properties, every single thing that I owned to being diagnosed with dengue during the first schedule and having to film it inspite of alarmingly low blood cell counts, my character as an individual has been severely tested.”
“I have been very open about my feelings on SM but I didn’t share all this, honestly because i didn’t want people who cared to worry unnecessarily and those who desperately want to see me fall and were doing everything to make me suffer, i didn’t want to give them the pleasure of my pain”.
Earlier on talking about the film, Kangana told PTI, “Emergency reflects one of the most important periods in Indian political history which changed the way we view power and that’s why I decided to tell this story.”
Kangana is now shooting for Raghava Lawrence-starrer Chandramukhi 2, directed by P Vasu. She also the aerial action thriller Tejas, where she portrays the role of an IAS officer.
