Kangana Ranaut directorial and starrer Emergency is all set to begin soon. While Anupam Kher, Shreyas Talpade and Mahima Chaudhry have already joined the film’s cast, Milind Soman now has been roped in to essay the role of Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw. He was the Chief of the army staff during the Indo-Pakistan War of 1971.
Talking about the character and about Milind Soman, Kangana Ranaut says, “Sam Manekshaw was the hero of the Indo-Pakistan War of 1971. Milind Soman’s overpowering screen presence and talent were ideal for the kind of actor we were looking for to play this important role. Sam Manekshaw had clarity of vision, was a strong-headed individual and his relevance is huge in the film. The film showcases how two very strong-headed personalities, Mrs. Gandhi and Sam Maneskshaw, worked together to fight the war against Pakistan. This chapter of history intrigues me a lot as it delves into how things worked and panned out for them. We are privileged that Milind Sir will be playing this role. I hope this film does justice to his enormous talent and great screen presence.”
