With her film Emergency pushed to a January release, Kangana Ranaut has turned her attention to her next pet passion.

She held a roadshow in Nagpur on Sunday for Bharatiya Janata Party candidate Pravin Datke ahead of Wednesday’s Maharashtra assembly elections.

Datke is contesting the election from the Nagpur Central assembly constituency.

Emergency will release in theatres on January 17 nine days before Republic Day.

The update comes a month after she said the team had finally received the censor certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification after the film missed out on its September 6 release.

Ranaut, who plays then prime minister Indira Gandhi in the political drama, shared the film’s release date on her official X page: ’17th January 2025. The epic saga of the nation’s most powerful woman and the moment that altered India’s destiny. #Emergency Unveils Only in cinemas on 17.01.2025!’

Emergency was mired in controversy after Sikh organisations, including the Shiromani Akali Dal, accused it of misrepresenting the community and getting facts wrong. At the time, Ranaut had accused the CBFC of stalling certification, which she said was ‘hugely demotivating’.

Emergency delves into the state of Emergency imposed on India by Indira Gandhi for 21 months from June 1975 to March 1977 and its aftermath. Produced by Zee Studios and Manikarnika Films, the movie also features Anupam Kher, Shreyas Talpade, Mahima Chaudhry, Milind Soman and the late Satish Kaushik.
