Kangana Ranaut’s upcoming political-drama Emergency underwent many challenges as the CBFC (Central Board of Film Certification) had objected to certain sensitive sequences from the film. However, after a prolonged struggle with the censor board, the actor has finally received certification for her home production.
The actor confirmed the same on her Instagram stories and thanked her followers. Kangana also took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share the news. She wrote, “We are glad to announce we have received the censor certificate for our movie Emergency, we will be announcing the release date soon. Thank you for your patience and support (Indian tricolour emoji).”
Kangana had recently agreed to add some cuts suggested by the censor board. During a hearing at Bombay High Court, for a petition by Zee Studios, the co-producers of Emergency, the CBFC told that Kangana had agreed to the suggestions of the board’s revising committee. The plea was filed after the film got in the middle of a stir with some people calling for a ban of the project over misrepresentation of the Sikh community.
Furthermore, latest reports suggest the film is likely to release after Punjab elections. A source close to the development shared with a leading portal stating, “After agreeing to all the terms of CBFC (Central Board of Film Certification), the team will most likely release the film after the Punjab elections. The film is really close to everyone’s heart and the audience should get to watch the film. So, after much consideration and not to hurt anyone’s sentiments, the whole team decided that once the elections are over, they will decide on a suitable day and release the film. Releasing the film during a calmer time seems the best decision for now.”
