Kangana Ranaut Urges All To 'Practice Some Combat', Says 'We Are Covered By Extremists'

Kangana Ranaut took to her Instagram stories on Saturday morning and urged everyone to practice some form of combat. She mentioned that the biggest battles in the history of this world were fought for peace and added that we must “pick swords” to fight for peace. The actress further opined that it is important to fight extremists to protect everyone.

“Peace is not air or sunlight that you think is your birthright and will come to you for free. Mahabharata ho ya Ramayana biggest battles in the history of the world have been fought for peace. Pick your swords and keep them sharp, practice some combat form every day. If not much give 10 minutes to self defence everyday. Your submission to others’ weapons should not be a consequence of your incompetence to fight. Surrender in trust is love but in fear is cowardice. Like Israel now we are also covered by extremists. We must be ready to protect the people on our land,” she wrote.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Kangana Ranaut will soon be seen in Emergency. The actress announced the film in 2021 but later clarified that even though it is a political drama, it is not Indira Gandhi’s biopic. The actress is not just playing the lead in the film but is also directing it. Besides Kangana, the film also stars Anupam Kher, Milind Soman, Mahima Chaudhry and Shreyas Talpade among others.

Previously, Kangana talked about the movie while speaking to the news agency PTI and said, “Emergency is my most ambitious project and second directorial post-Manikarnika, we have the best of Indian and international talent come together for this big budget, grand period drama.”

The actress also talked about directing the film in another interview when she told ANI, “Emergency is one of the most significant and darkest chapters in our history that young India needs to know. It is a crucial story and I want to thank my super-talented actors like late Satish ji, Anupam ji, Shreyas, Mahima, and Milind for embarking on this creative journey together. I am excited to bring this extraordinary episode from India’s history to the big screen. Jaihind!”

Emergency has been postponed multiple times and is now scheduled to hit theatres on September 6, 2024.
