Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 10 : Actor Anupam Kher recently shared a heartwarming and humorous video featuring Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut and his mother, Dulari. In the clip, Kangana seeks blessings from Dulari for her upcoming film Emergency, set to release on January 17.
Anupam took to Instagram to share the adorable moment, in which he teasingly pointed out that his mother was not dressed up when meeting the actress. In his caption, Anupam wrote, “Kangana and Dulari: Two strong women of the mountains. A few days ago, Kangana suddenly decided she would like to take blessings from her mother! Mom didn’t get a chance to dress up. I teased them a lot for this!”
Dulari lovingly gave her blessings to Kangana, wishing her success for the film. Anupam added, “Dulari gave Kangana full of love and blessings. My beauty was mentioned in the same excuse. The best dialogue of the mother is, ‘What happens with clothes, must have a good heart!’ Dearest #KanganaRanaut, thank you for meeting Mom. She was so happy to meet you. You both are the biggest example of #WomenEmpowerment! I pray to God that our film Emergency becomes a big success. Hail to you!”
Kher and Kangana’s film Emergency revolves around the political drama of the Emergency imposed by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi from 1975 to 1977. The movie also features Shreyas Talpade and the late Satish Kaushik.
In a recent interview both Kher and Kangana spoke about their collaboration on Emergency. Kangana expressed her deep admiration for Anupam Kher, calling him the “hero” of the film. She revealed, “It was very important for me to have Anupam ji in this film. If he had refused to do Emergency, I wouldn’t have made it. Look at his on-screen personality…there’s honesty on his face. No one can portray the role of Jayaprakash Narayan except him.”
Anupam Kher, in turn, praised Kangana, calling her “one of the finest filmmakers” he has worked with. He shared, “I was in National School of Drama in New Delhi when Emergency was declared, so I didn’t have to do much research for the film. Also, Kangana had researched on everyone’s behalf. This will be one of the finest films made on any political subject. Kangana does effortless work. Directing the whole film and acting as Indira Gandhi isn’t an easy job, but Kangana did it… one of the finest directors that I have worked with.”
Emergency hits theatres on January 17.
