Kangana Ranaut’s film ‘Emergency’ in controversy again

Actress and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut’s recent film ‘Emergency’ is facing legal scrutiny as senior journalist and author Coomi Kapoor has accused the filmmakers of misusing her work and distorting facts.

Koomi Kapoor has alleged that Kangana Ranaut-owned Manikarnika Films Pvt Ltd in connivance with Netflix has deliberately and maliciously distorted facts and exploited her name by claiming that the film is based on her 2015 book ‘The Emergency: A Personal History’ published by Penguin.

Writer accused of distorting facts

He said that ‘My daughter is a lawyer, so on her advice, I included two clauses. While the makers had complete artistic freedom to make the film, nothing should be changed that contradicts publicly available historical facts. The contract also stated that the author’s name and book cannot be used for the promotion or exploitation of the film without prior written consent. I was in Goa at that time and had not seen the film, I was confident that they would honor the contract.

Played the role of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi

He said that he has already sent two legal notices, but has not received any response. Let us tell you that this film directed and produced by Kangana Ranaut narrates the months of Emergency in India and the experiences people went through. Kangana plays former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in the film, while Anupam Kher, Shreyas Talpade, Vishak Nair, Milind Soman and later actor Satish Kaushik have played important roles.
