Kangana Ranaut, the multi-talented actor-turned-politician, recently expressed her desire to direct a film featuring the three legendary Khans of Bollywood – Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, and Salman Khan. This announcement came during the trailer launch of her ambitious project ‘Emergency,’ which sees her taking on multiple roles including director and lead actor. The film is set against the backdrop of the political turmoil during the emergency period in India in 1975 and features a star-studded cast.
Speaking passionately about her dream project, Ranaut shared, “I would love to produce and direct a film with all three Khans. I want to explore and showcase their hidden talents where they can not only act but also portray roles that have significant societal relevance. They are all incredibly talented actors, and it would be fascinating to bring out their untapped artistic sides.” Her admiration for the trio was evident as she went on to discuss their immense contributions to the Bollywood industry.
Kangana also shed light on how the three Khans have positively impacted the film industry, not just through box office revenues but by engaging a vast audience. “What they are doing is adding immense revenue to the film industry, and we should be eternally grateful to them. However, there is also an artistic side to each of them that has not been fully explored, except in a few films. I would love to delve into that with them and other actors,” she added.
The conversation took a somber turn when she mentioned the late Irrfan Khan, a star she always wanted to direct but never got the chance to. “One actor I always regret not being able to direct is Irrfan Khan Saab. He is one of my favorite Khans, and I will always miss him,” she said, her voice tinged with sorrow.

The film stands out not just for its compelling storyline but also for its impressive ensemble cast, which includes notable names like Anupam Kher, Mahima Chaudhary, Milind Soman, Shreyas Talpade, Vishak Nair, and the late Satish Kaushik who plays a pivotal role.
Produced by Zee Studios and Manikarnika Films, ‘Emergency’ aims to offer a nuanced portrayal of one of India’s most contentious political periods. The film is crafted with the screenplay and dialogues by Ritesh Shah and features a musical score orchestrated by Sanchit Balhara, promising to deliver a gripping cinematic experience.
