Kangana Ranaut's recent appearance in Tejas featured her as an Air Force pilot combating terrorism. Despite the star-studded cast, including Anshul Chauhan, Varun Mitra, Ashish Vidyarthi, and Vishak Nair, the film failed to make a significant impact at the box office upon its release last month.

The actor is set to portray the role of former Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in Emergency, where she not only stars but also directs and produces the film. Joining her are Anupam Kher as revolutionary leader J P Narayan, Shreyas Talpade as former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, and Milind Soman as Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw. The release of Emergency, initially slated for November 24, 2023, has been postponed to the following year.

Furthermore, Kangana will reprise her beloved character Tanuja Trivedi from Tanu Weds Manu in the third installment of the series. Additionally, she has Sita: The Incarnation and Manikarnika Returns: The Legend of Didda in her kitty, portraying the titular role in both films.
