Kangana Ranaut On Vishak Nair Playing Sanjay Gandhi In Emergency
Talking about Vishak Nair’s character Sanjay Gandhi in the film, Kangana said, “Sanjay is one of the most crucial people in Mrs. Gandhi’s life. For this, I needed someone who played a man with his innocence intact but who is also shrewd at the same time. He is equally competent and equally passionate. The man needed many shades and can play a whole spectrum of emotions.”
While opening up about selecting Vishak Nair to play Sanjay Gandhi in the film, Kangana said, “Sanjay is an extension of his mother. I looked for a face for more than six months and I decided to launch him as the face. I am glad that after Avneet I am launching a new face in a very big-scale film. Vishak is a tremendous actor and has done a slew of Malayalam movies. This is his first Hindi film and I am certain he will do great justice to Sanjay’s character.”

I play a historically significant and enigmatic individual and I am truly grateful for the opportunity to be part of such an incredible film. Working with Kangana Ma’am has been an absolute joy and a fantastic learning experience as well. It’s been quite something to work with such accomplished artists.
