Veteran actor Anupam Kher is jumping from one filming schedule to another these days. After wrapping up his films 'The Signature' and 'Kaagaz 2', he has now bagged a role in Kangana Ranaut's upcoming film 'Emergency'. Based on a dark period of modern Indian history, 'Emergency' will feature Anupam Kher in the role of politician and social activist JP Narayan.
Talking about his character, Kher recently stated, Kangana’s interpretation of J P Narayan is fascinating. She believes and it’s also the truth that J P Narayan is a hero of the film not just because I am playing the character also because that’s what he was. Her treatment of the character is like that of a hero. As far as essaying the role is concerned, even though I did my own research, Kangana made my job easy by providing me with her interpretation and the homework that she had done. That’s why it was easy to step into the shoes of J P Narayan.
He further added, When you have a director, who knows his or her job, it becomes easy for an actor to follow those instructions and perform. Of course, there is hard work that goes into it but I am very happy that I am essaying the role of a historical figure who changed the scenario of independent India.”
Apart from directing the film, Kangana will also be seen playing late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in this project.
