Bollywood actor Anupam Kher will be seen portraying the character of politician Jayaprakash Narayan in Kangana Ranaut's directorial, 'Emergency'. Anupam says: "Kangana's interpretation of J. P. Narayan is fascinating. She believes and it's also the truth that J. P. Narayan is a hero of the film not just because I am playing the character but because that's what he was. Her treatment of the character is like that of a hero."

He says, "As far as essaying the role is concerned, even though I did my own research, Kangana made my job easy by providing me with her interpretation and the homework that she had done."
