Kangana Ranaut, who plays the role Indira Gandhi in her new film “Emergency”, said she did extensive research and now believes the former prime minister was not powerful as she had thought but “weak” and “unsure of herself”.
The first-time MP from Mandi, often in the headlines for her provocative comments, also said there is no director today who deserves her.
“I’m very proudly saying that today there is not a single director in the film industry that I want to work with because they don’t have that kind of quality… that I feel that they deserve me,” Ranaut told PTI in a video interview ahead of the release of the much in the news “Emergency”.
Ranaut, who has directed and produced the film that documents the 21 months of Emergency imposed in 1975 by the then prime minister, said she has empathy for Indira Gandhi and viewed as very powerful until she started working on the project.
