Kangana Ranaut, who is all set to essay the role of Indira Gandhi in Emergency, was asked which politician she would like to play next on the big screen
Filmmaker and actress-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut is currently gearing up for the release of her much-awaited film Emergency. Touted as her first solo directorial, she will be essaying the role of former-Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in the film. She has been making the headlines for her revelations on her personal and professional life. During an interaction with Aap Ki Adalat, she recently opened up about which politician she would like to play next on the big screen.
While talking about her portrayals of Indian politicians, Kangana expressed that she must have had blessings from all the powerful women of India to get the opportunity to portray their roles on screen. For those who don’t remember, until now the 38-year-old actress has played the roles of Rani Laxmibai, Jayalalithaa, and now Indira Gandhi.
Quoted by the Hindustan Times, “Mujhe lagta hai mujhe inn mahilayo ka aashirwad hai. Aur ye jo hai chati hai ki main ye karoon. Maine hamesha socha ki Rani Laxmibai ki kahani kitno ne banana ki koshish ki. Lekin who chahti thi ki main banau. Main isko lekar thoda romantic ideas rakhti hoon. Jayalalithaa ne chaha ki Kangana kare, mujhe lagta hai ki Indira Gandhi bhi yehi chahti thi ki main unka role play karoon. Mujhe kabhi ichcha nahi thi ki main Indira Gandhi banu. Aisa laga ki mujhe majboor kiya gaya ho yeh role play karne ke liye.”
Upon asking who she wants to play next on the big screen West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee or Bahujan Samaj Party leader Mayawati, the Queen said, “Kalakar ke liye kuch mushkil nahi hai lekin mujhe lagta hai Mayawati ji jo hai.”
