Actor Kangana Ranaut shared some updates about her upcoming directorial ‘Emergency’. She took to her Instagram over the weekend, and posted a photo from the sets of the film also featuring choreographer Kurt M. Calling the movie “a musical drama”, she said that the film has five songs. Kangana also said that she “might just have the longest song ever above 10 mins.”
Kangana captioned the post, "Choreographer on set today... director can take it easy ha ha... by the way we have five songs on Emergency; it's a musical drama (performing arts emoji). I don't know why people don't expect songs in Emergency... I love music, I might just have the longest song ever above 10 minutes... For interval block... And great music @gvprakash.”
Reacting to the post, musician GV Prakash Kumar took to Instagram Stories and shared her post.
