Kangana Ranaut is gearing up for the most ambitious project of her career so far, Emergency. The actor, who portrays the late Prime Minister of India, Indira Gandhi, also doubles up as the producer and director of the period drama. While the film revolves around the 1975 Emergency, as the title suggests, we hear that the narrative incorporates several highlights of Mrs Gandhi’s leadership. Interestingly, the July 2, 1972, Shimla Agreement between the former Indian PM and the then President of Pakistan, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto (played by Parvez Malik in the film) marks one of the highlights of the June 14 release. It is known that the agreement formally marked the end of the 1971 Indo-Pak War, in which Indian soldiers captured 93,000 enemy soldiers. The prisoners of war were later released to the Pak establishment, as per the peace terms. Besides, the Shimla Agreement was aimed at addressing the Kashmir issue and fostering improved relations between the two countries. As per the terms, India also gave back over 13,000 km of land to Pakistan, but the Shimla Agreement continues to linger in India’s political history. A source reveals, “Kangana’s film promises insights into the historical event, shedding light on the complexities of the agreement that also saw Bangladesh become an independent country.”
