Kangana Ranaut will soon return to the big screen with the biographical drama ‘Emergency’. She has been busy promoting her movie and revealed several film offers she received in her career.
In her recent appearance at the Aap Ki Adalat, Kangana revealed that she has received offers to star in the movies with Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar but had to turn them down. She also praised Aamir Khan and called Salman Khan her ‘dear friend’.
While speaking at Aap Ki Adalat, Kangana revealed, “Salman had offered me a role in ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’, Shahrukh had offered a role in ‘Zero’.” She added, “Akshay Kumar was offering me a role in ‘Singh is Bling’. As a female actor, I created my own existence (astitva) in the industry. Nobody wants to make a movie on an old woman, who was thrice our Prime Minister (Indira Gandhi).”
“In 2006, when I was struggling for roles, nobody offered me anything. Not even secondary roles. When My movie Queen became a success in 2014, then offers came. I felt I have got a separate opportunity. Like Vyjayantimala, Sridevi used to do movies on their own. Will Aamir Khan allow me to give the best performance? Salman is a larger-than-life star. Temptations..they’re giants of industry. Salman is my dear friend, Aamir so nice,” she further said.
Talking about ‘Emergency’, the movie is based on the Indian Emergency which happened from 1975 to 1977. Kangana will essay the role of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. She collaborated with renowned prosthetic makeup artist David Malinowski for the film. The movie also stars Milind Soman, Mahima Chaudhry, Shreyas Talpade, Satish Kaushik and Anupam Kher in pivotal roles.
On the work front, Kangana was last seen in the movie ‘Tejas’, which did not work well at the box office.
