Chandigarh, July 14

Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut has kickstarted the shoot of her much-anticipated movie ‘Emergency’ and Twitter could not keep calm.

The actor unveiled the teaser of the movie, in which she plays the role of former prime minister Indira Gandhi, on Instagram.

Sharing her first look as Gandhi from the movie, Ranaut wrote: “Presenting #EmergencyFirstLook! Portraying one of the most powerful and controversial women in the history of the world #Emergency shoot begins”.

The teaser shows a man walking towards a huge room after ending a phone call. A woman, who can be seen donning salt-pepper hair and a starched cotton saree, reads through some files with spectacles in one hand as the man approaches her. The man then asks the woman that the American president wants to know if he could address her as “Madam”.

As the camera moves to reveal the face of the woman, we get a glimpse of Ranaut striking an impeccable resemblance to Indira Gandhi.

With a voice modulation, Ranaut goes on to say, “Okay. America ke president ko keh dena ki mujhe mere daftar me sab Madam nahi, Sir kehte hain (Tell the American president that everyone in my office addresses me as Sir, not Madam).”

She shared a clip with the caption: “Presenting ‘Her’ who was called ‘Sir’”.

From her look, style, body language, demeanour to her dialogue delivery, mannerisms, voice moudulation, and makeup – everything striked a chord with the audience.

Her brilliant impersonification of Gandhi’s accent and appearance left netizens impressed as Twitter was flooded with appreciation for her.
