Kangana did not specify whether Karan would play the hero or villain in her movie. Interestingly, during her infamous segment on Koffee With Karan season 5, Kangana expressed her desire to cast Karan as the villain in her biopic. It is when she called him the 'flagbearer of nepotism.' At that point, Karan said that he chose not to work with Kangana because he made a choice and not because she's not a star kid.

Kangana Ranaut's Emergency

Emergency, based on the dark period in India's history, covers Indira Gandhi's life as the PM. Kangana plays Indira in the film which is directed and produced by her. Before switching to politics, Kangana declared Emergency as her last movie since she was tired of how Bollywood treats women. However, from what we see, Kangana has not shut the door completely on Bollywood, for now.

Also starring Anupam Kher, Shreyas Talpade, Milind Soman and Mahima Chaudhary, Emergency is finally cleared by the censor board and is scheduled to release in theatres on January 17.
