Milind Soman appears as Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw. Other notable actors include Vishak Nair, Mahima Chaudhry, and Satish Kaushik, who contribute to the film's rich narrative.

Emergency Opening Weekend Box Office Collection

Interestingly, as Emergency maintained a decent hold at the box office, it saw an impressive performance at the box office during the opening weekend. Reportedly, Emergency made a collection of Rs 7.95 crores during the first weekend.

Meanwhile, Emergency is once again mired by controversy as Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) demanded a ban on the release in Punjab citing it might spark outrage in the Sikh community. SGPC president Harjinder Singh Dhami on Thursday wrote to Punjab chief minister Bhagwant Mann. This didn't go down well with Kangana who stated, "This is complete harassment of art and the artist, from Punjab many cities are reporting that these people are not allowing Emergency to be screened. I have utmost respect for all religions and after studying and growing up in Chandigarh I have closely observed and followed Sikh religion. This is a complete lie and propaganda to tarnish my image and harm my film #Emergency".
