Mumbai, Jan 8 (NationPress) Renowned actor Anupam Kher, who plays the role of the revolutionary Jayaprakash Narayan in Kangana Ranaut's directorial venture 'Emergency', has characterized the movie as a “human error story”.
During a promotional interview with IANS, Kher discussed the film, which is scheduled for release on January 17. He stated, “It is a human error story. It's about a prime minister, and I have seen some portions. I think, again I'll go back to the portrayal of Indira Gandhi as an actor. I'm constantly going back to the cinema rather than the things behind it. How many actresses can portray Indira Gandhi's role? We shared how she achieved the makeup. It's not only putting a nose that Mrs. Gandhi had. It's also internalizing her fear, her insecurities.”
He further elaborated on his portrayal of ‘Lok Nayak’, Jayaprakash Narayanji, saying, “He did not take up any position after this whole thing happened, so a lot of people do not know about his contribution to that period. Atal ji later became the prime minister and he remained one of the tallest leaders.”
“Recently, someone asked me, ‘What role do you essay in this film?’. I said, ‘Jayaprakash Narayanji’. And they were like, ‘Really? Who was he?’. So I think the world should know what was his contribution against this emergency. What did he go through? What did he do? We haven't forgotten that aspect. We don't remember. The cinematography is fantastic. Kangana collected the kind of people who are associated with the film,” he added.
The narrative of the film is centered around the 21-month phase from 1975 to 1977 when former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi imposed a state of emergency across the nation, citing internal and external threats to its stability.
