    Anupam Kher reveals the first image from his role as Jayaprakash Narayan in Kangana Ranaut's Emergency.




     Digital Desk: In
    Kangana Ranaut's next film Emergency, veteran actor Anupam Kher will portray
    the late political figure Jayaprakash Narayan, also known as JP Narayan.



    Kangana, who
    plays former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in the movie, also wrote the
    screenplay and is the director of the upcoming political drama. Emergency, a
    movie that tells the tale of a turning point in Indian politics, debuted its
    first trailer on Friday. In the movie, Anupam will portray JP Narayan, an
    opponent of Indira Gandhi in the 1970s.



    The actor shared
    his first look from Emergency on Twitter and wrote, “Happy and proud to essay
    the role of the man, who questioned fearlessly, a rebel in the truest sense of
    the word.



     



    Additionally, the
    actor tweeted that this would be his 527th movie.




    Anupam stated
    that he found Kangana Ranaut's portrayal of Narayan, who was given the Bharat
    Ratna posthumously in 1999, to be fascinating. "It's amazing to see
    Kangana portray JP Narayan in this way. She thinks—and it's also true—that JP
    Narayan is the movie's hero, and not just because I play him. She treats the
    character in a heroic manner, "added the seasoned performer.



    In the meantime,
    Kangana expressed her gratitude for having Anupam on board. "In modern
    Indian history, JP Narayan was the most influential person to have lived after
    Mahatma Gandhi. He had a tremendous amount of power over individuals. I was
    looking for an actor who could live up to JP Narayan's larger-than-life
    portrayal of Lok Neta. Anupam ji's stature, acting prowess, and general
    demeanour made him the ideal choice for the role "says the actor-director.



     



    Kangana debuted the teaser for Emergency and her appearance as
    former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi earlier in July. Kangana was seen adopting
    the late politician's appearance in the photograph and promotional video,
    replete with eyeglasses and a cotton saree. With the title "Presenting
    'Her' who was called 'Sir' #Emergency shoot begins,"
