Actress Kangana Ranaut is leaving no stone unturned to gather the best cast of actors for her upcoming directorial venture 'Emergency'. Based on a dark period of Indian democracy, the film will also feature Kangana portraying Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.

Few days back it was announced that veteran actor Anupam Kher is going to play JP Narayan in the film and the latest buzz suggests that actor Shreyas Talpade has been roped in to play former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, who was a young and emerging leader during the emergency.

Kangana, who is excited to have Shreyas onboard, states, "He plays Atal Bihari Vajpayee who was a young and upcoming leader when Mrs Gandhi became the Prime Minister for the first time. He was one of the heroes of the Emergency. We are fortunate to have him on board as he is a versatile actor. I personally feel that his performance in the role of Atal Bihari Vajpayee will be one of the most memorable. We are lucky to have got a powerful performer like him to play this important role.”
