Talking about the movie, Kangana expressed her admiration for Anupam Kher. She even called Kher the "hero" of the film and admitted that she would not have made Emergency if Kher had denied being a part of it. "It was very important for me to have Anupam ji in this film. If he refused to do Emergency, then I wouldn't have made it. Look at his on-screen personality...there's honesty on his face. No one can portray the role of Jayaprakash Narayan except him," Kangana shared.
