Malayalam actor Vishak Nair stars in the political thriller and recently took to social media to reveal that he has been receiving death threats due to confusion over his role in Emergency. He said that a lot of people believed that he was portraying Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale.

Dhami's criticism is in response to persistent worries over Ranaut's previous statements, which have been seen as anti-Punjab and anti-Sikh.

They assert that the movie is attempting to "character assassinate" Sikhs and fabricate a false narrative about them.

Kangana Ranaut’s directorial debut with Emergency has got everyone’s attention as Kangana’s first look as former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi took everyone by surprise. The movie also stars Mahima Choudhary, Anupam Kher, Milind Soman, Shreyas Talpade, Vishak Nair, and the late Satish Kaushik in pivotal roles.
