Makers of the period political drama Emergency released the second trailer two weeks before the film`s release.

Kangana Ranaut is portraying former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in the film.
The second trailer of the film captures the tumultuous days of the Emergency and the period of turmoil and uncertainty from 1975 to 1977 and Gandhi’s infamous declaration, "Indira is India." The film brings to life the political chessboard of the time, from Jayaprakash Narayan (Anupam Kher)`s fiery protests to young Atal Bihari Vajpayee`s oratorical brilliance (Shreyas Talpade). Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw, Pupul Jayakar, and Jagjivan Ram are also pivotal parts of the gripping drama.
