Kangana Ranaut's period drama Emergency has cast actor Vishak Nair for the role of Sanjay Gandhi, the makers announced Thursday. Billed as the story of a watershed moment in the political history of India, Emergency is written and directed by Kangana.
The Emergency was imposed by Gandhi for a 21-month period from 1975 to 1977, when the fundamental rights of the people were put under strict curbs.
