Actor-politician Kangana Ranaut has announced the postponement of her directorial debut ‘Emergency’, citing delays in censor board clearance. The film, starring Ranaut as former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, was initially scheduled for release on September 6th. The postponement comes after the Bombay High Court refused to order certification for the film, which has been embroiled in controversy due to objections from Sikh organizations over alleged historical inaccuracies.
Kangana Ranaut’s upcoming film ‘Emergency’, a biographical drama portraying former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, has been delayed after the Bombay High Court refused to intervene in the ongoing controversy surrounding its certification. The film, initially set to release on September 6, will now be pushed back due to objections raised by Sikh groups and a directive from the Madhya Pradesh High Court for the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to reconsider the movie before granting a certificate.
Zee Entertainment Enterprises, the co-producer of the upcoming biographical drama ‘Emergency’, has filed a petition in the Bombay High Court seeking the release of the film. The petition alleges that the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) is illegally withholding the censor certificate, causing a delay in the film’s release scheduled for September 6th. The film, starring Kangana Ranaut as former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, has faced opposition from Sikh organizations who claim the film misrepresents their community and distorts historical facts.
