Kangana Ranaut will be playing the role of the former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in 'Emergency'. Fatima Sana Shaikh will also be seen as Indira Gandhi in Vicky Kaushal starrer 'Sam Bahadur'. The teaser of 'Sam Bahadur' has recently released and Fatima has received appreciation for her portrayal of the former PM.
In an interview with Hindustan Times, Fatima opened up about the comparisons between her and Kangana portraying Indira Gandhi.
The 'Dangal' actress said, "How can I compare our performance? She is performing differently and I'm doing mine. Probably, I would have done things differently if I had been doing her role, I don’t know. If two actors are playing the same character then people are bound to compare and there’s nothing wrong in it. Both approaches can be right. It’s all about the spirit of the character."

While commenting on Kangana's look in 'Emergency', Fatima said, "I have seen it, bohot mast laga (it was really good). I think everybody liked it. I don’t remember a single person not liking it. With the hair and makeup, it was too good, visually she looked like her."
'Sam Bahadur is releasing on December 1 along with Ranbir Kapoor starrer 'Animal'. 'Emergency' which was initially scheduled to release in theatres on November 24 has been postponed to next year.
