Shreyas Talpade says actor-filmmaker Kangana Ranaut’s ‘Emergency’ is a fantastic film and he is happy that the film has been cleared for release by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).
Written, directed and co-produced by Ranaut, the political drama was initially scheduled to release on September 6, but could not get the release date due to lack of approval from the CBFC.
It was also embroiled in controversy after Sikh organizations including Shiromani Akali Dal accused the film of misrepresenting the community and distorting facts.

He said, “It is difficult for the producers to think ‘forget what happened’ because they have suffered financial losses. I am eagerly waiting for the film to release and watch it because it is a great film.”
Starring Ranaut as former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, “Emergency” tells the story of the Emergency imposed by her for 21 months from 1975 to 1977 and its aftermath.
About serious roles for Shreyas Talpade

“I was launched with a film like ‘Iqbal’ and at the time when the era of comedy and multi-starrer films started, I was not cast in them. I was told, ‘You have a serious image because of Iqbal. ” ‘, so we are not sure whether people will accept you in comedy roles or whether you will be able to do it or not.’ “Fortunately, ‘Golmaal’ came and things changed for me. Today, after being inundated with comedy films, people say, ‘Will I be able to play a serious role or not’,” said Talpade, who is best known for her roles in ‘Door’, He has also been a part of films like ‘Om Shanti Om’, ‘Welcome’, ‘Sajjanpur’, ‘Housefull 2’ and ‘Chandu Champion’.

The film, directed by Barry Jenkins, serves as both a prequel and sequel to “The Lion King,” a 2019 remake of the 1994 animated film. It explores Mufasa’s journey from an orphan cub to becoming king.
“The most important thing is what we are teaching children through this film. Like, this kind of story will always be relevant, the victory story of the underdog, so all kids will feel, ‘Even I can achieve whatever I want despite all the odds’,” he said. .
Superstar Shah Rukh Khan has voiced the title role of Mufasa in the Hindi version, his son Aryan Khan has lent his voice to Simba and youngest son Abram Khan has lent his voice to Mufasa (the cub).
