Actor Kay Kay Menon, who has portrayed a variety of characters in his over two decade-long journey in the Indian entertainment industry, will next be seen in `Sann Pachattar`, which will be based on the Emergency era in the country.

`The film is absolutely a visual and audio symphony. It is the first true political period thriller of Indian cinema. I am happy I am a part of this film and played the most layered and myriad character of my career till date,` Menon said in a statement.

`It took me nearly six months to get into the skin and psyche of the character and to get the crisis right,` he added.

`Sann Pachattar` will be directed by `Tamanchey` fame Navneet Behal.

`The Emergency period lasted from June 1975 to March 1977 and is one of the darkest period of Indian history. We learn true lessons of life only from history and I decided to make a film based on some unknown and uncovered events during the period of emergency,` Kabir Lovee, who is producing the film under his Pehle Aap Motion Pictures banner, said.

`It's a fun film and is entertaining and stimulating at the same time. Its not preachy and heavy like most films have been on the supposed unfortunate event. It is a very well balanced film and will teleport you instantly to the 1970s. It's sensible yet is entertaining and rambles us into a trip,` Lovee added.
