Talking about ‘Emergency’ being her second project as a director she said, “Yes. This is going to be my second directorial. Even though I wanted another film, which I am also ready with, as my second directorial.

I am very happy to be the director of this film. Looking forward to bringing the iconic story to the silver screen.”
About the film, Kangana had said, “Yes, we are working on the project and the script is in final stages.
