New Delhi: Kangana Ranaut has reportedly sought permission to shoot parts of her upcoming film ‘Emergency’ inside Parliament premises.
Her letter to the Lok Sabha Secretariat is under consideration, but she is unlikely to be granted permission, PTI reported quoting sources.
Private entities are not usually given permission for shooting or doing videography inside the Parliament premises, unless it’s specially commissioned for government work.
‘Emergency’, directed, produced and written by Kangana, went on the floors in June.
Kangana also plays the lead character in the film – that of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, who imposed Emergency in the country in 1975.
She shared her look as Mrs Gandhi in an Instagram post 5 months ago.
