Talking about donning the directorial hat for the second time for the political drama, Kangana said to ANI, "My last directorial was Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi, and I got an encouraging response from the audience as it was a blockbuster. I was tempted to direct another film but I had many acting assignments to complete. I do believe that I know the pulse of the audience from my interviews, my quotes and the terms that I have coined are now part of pop culture (she laughs). I do believe that the audience is looking for something which will stimulate their intellectual side and not just their sensual side." 

Emergency marks Kangana's first solo directorial project. For Manikarnika, the actress shared the directing credits with Krish Jagarlamudi, a popular Telugu film director who had earlier only helmed a single film in his career, Akshay Kumar starrer Gabbar Is Back in 2015.
