Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut has sparked controversy with her latest claims about censorship and political bias in the film industry. On Monday, she took to social media to express her frustration, alleging that while OTT platforms allow the expression of ‘anti-national’ views by ‘communists or leftists,’ nationalist filmmakers face restrictions.
Ranaut specifically criticized the alleged censorship of her upcoming film ‘Emergency,’ which revolves around the life of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. She asserted that the film, despite being based on historical facts, has faced delays due to the CBFC’s refusal to issue a certificate for its uncut version. She accused the board of imposing unnecessary cuts and delaying tactics under pressure from unknown sources.
The actress declared her intention to release an uncut version of ‘Emergency,’ even if it means going to court. She emphasized her dedication to preserving the integrity of the film and its artistic vision. The film’s release was initially scheduled for Friday but has been postponed due to the ongoing certification issues.
These claims come just days after Kangana publicly accused the CBFC of imposing a ‘state of emergency’ on her film. She expressed her disappointment with the prevailing circumstances and vowed to fight for the right to release her film without censorship.
The controversy surrounding ‘Emergency’ has further ignited debates about censorship in the Indian film industry and the political undercurrents that influence the creative process. Kangana Ranaut’s strong stance against censorship and her allegations of bias have brought the issue to the forefront of public discourse, prompting widespread discussion and speculation.
