With 'Emergency', Kangana Ranaut has the double duty of being an actor as well as a director. Nailing the look is the first leg of a long journey ahead, as she tells the story of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi who had a state of emergency declared across the country in June 1975. As soon as the film’s first look dropped online yesterday, netizens appreciated Ranaut’s on-screen transformation into India’s Iron Lady. The actor gives the credit to Oscar-winning make-up artist David Malinowski. She begins, “David and his team are astute professionals. An entire team flew down from London. We had a series of meetings to ascertain the final look, and did a bunch of look tests. David took the calls on how to go about it. In fact, he pointed out that I physically resemble Mrs Gandhi a lot, including the skin texture and jawline. I told him that in India, people believe I am the perfect person to play Mrs Gandhi.”
