Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut has begun shooting for 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-and-pepper hair and a starched cotton sari, reads through some files with spectacles in one hand as the man approaches her. The man then asks the woman that the American president wanted 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 having a striking 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’”.
