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.
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.
Kangana Ranaut, actor-turned-politician and Mandi MP, has announced the release date of her upcoming film ‘Emergency’ as September 6th, 2024. The film, directed and produced by Ranaut herself, is a political drama that depicts the controversial period of Indira Gandhi’s imposition of Emergency in India. The film features a star-studded cast including Anupam Kher, Mahima Chaudhary, and Milind Soman.
