"She has won awards, accolades, and applause whenever she has performed something on screen, and trust me, Emergency is not going to be any different. She has put her best foot forward as Indira Gandhi ji in the film Emergency.”
Shreyas Talpade added, “So, working with her on-screen was fabulous. If your co-star is fabulous, it adds more value to your performance, and I'm lucky and honoured that I shared screen space with her."
