Kangana Ranaut's film Emergency may get approval for release if the makers make the cuts suggested by the censor board. The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) said this during a hearing in the Bombay High Court on Thursday, September 25.
The petition regarding the release of the film was filed by Kangana and Zee Studio. They had objected that the CBFC (Central Board of Film Certification) had earlier given a certificate to the film, but banned it 4 days before its release on September 6. After this, Kangana had alleged that the Censor Board was not issuing a certificate to the film and was delaying the release of the film.
What is the whole matter?
Kangana Ranaut and the filmmakers have accused the CBFC in the petition that it has arbitrarily withheld the certificate of the film. The CBFC had given the certificate through e-mail, however, refused to give a copy of the certificate just 4 days before the release.
On this, CBFC lawyer Abhinav Chandrachud has said that the makers of Emergency had received a system generated mail, but later it was stopped due to objections.
The court had reprimanded the CBFC
During the hearing on September 4, the High Court judge reprimanded the officials of CBFC. He asked them how can you send a system generated email. Did the officials not watch the film before sending the email? Did the officials not use their brains while giving the certificate?
In the petition, the lawyer on behalf of Kangana's production house said – We will not make any changes in the film and will release the film in the same way as CBFC has sealed it earlier.
