Kangana had made the announcement with the caption, “Last but not the least… Presenting the powerhouse of talent Satish Kaushik as Jagjivan Ram in Emergency, popularly known as Babuji, he was one of the most revered politicians in the Indian political history.” Kaushik had also taken to Instagram at the time and had written, “Honoured to essay the role of Jagjivan Ram also known as Babuji, the most compassionate and the crusader of social justice in Kangana Ranaut directorial Emergency.”

An alumnus of the National School of Drama and Film and Television Institute of India, Satish Kaushik started his career in theatre. He starred in several iconic hits of the 90s after getting his start in the 1980s. Some of his noted films included, Mr India, Deewana Mastana, Brick Lane, Saajan Chale Sasural. He also directed Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja, Prem, Hum Aapke Dil Mein Rehte Hain and Tere Naam, among others. Kaushik had once told Indian Express that he got typecast in comedy quickly, but eventually found his own versatility throughout the years. “It is us who’ve created these definitions like ‘villains’ and ‘negative roles’. It’s actually about the person you play. He can be a bad person with a great sense of humour. That’s why we also see gangsters with an interesting personality. Today, it is about playing a character who might be ruthless, yet quirky,” he had said.
