After working on Emergency for more than a year, I finally figured no one can direct it better than me. Collaborating with fabulous writer Ritesh Shah. Even if it means sacrificing on various acting assignments, I am determined to do it. My excitement is high. This is going to be a tremendous journey.”
The film’s story is by Kangana while the screenplay and dialogues are by Ritesh Shah, who also worked with her on Dhaakad. Apart from Emergency, Kangana will be seen in Tejas and Manikarnika Returns: The Legend Of Didda.
