Shreyas Talpade, who plays former Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee in the movie, shared some interesting anecdotes about his experience working with Kangana and his surprise at her dedication to the film.
Shreyas Talpade’s First Reaction and ‘Pushpa 3’ Joke
When asked about his initial reaction to being offered the role of Atal Bihari Vajpayee by Kangana, Shreyas candidly admitted his nervousness. “When Kangana approached me for the role of Atal ji, I was confused and scared. I didn’t know how to react,” he confessed. Despite his apprehensions, Shreyas decided to take on the role, citing Kangana’s immense support and guidance as crucial to his portrayal of the iconic leader.
In a light-hearted moment during the trailer launch, Shreyas also mentioned his work as the Hindi dubbing artist for Allu Arjun in the blockbuster ‘Pushpa.’ He humorously suggested that if the makers of ‘Pushpa 3’ were to cast Kangana, it would be a surefire hit. This comment elicited laughter from Kangana and the audience, showcasing the camaraderie among the cast.
Kangana’s Unwavering Dedication on Set
Shreyas couldn’t stop praising Kangana’s dedication and meticulous approach to her role in ‘Emergency.’ “Kangana is a huge inspiration for me. We mostly saw her working as an actor, but on the sets of ‘Emergency,’ she prepared herself thoroughly, not just for her part but for everyone’s,” he remarked. Shreyas shared a funny incident where he tried to improvise during a take, only for Kangana to gently remind him to stick to the rehearsed script, saying, “Whatever you practiced during the rehearsal, please stick to it because that saala will never bend.” This anecdote highlights Kangana’s commitment to maintaining the integrity of the scenes and her attention to detail.
