Kangana Ranaut has officially announced the postponement of her upcoming film 'Emergency'. She wrote on the social media platform X, with a heavy heart I have to tell that Emergency, directed by me, has been postponed. We are waiting for the certificate from the censor board. We will announce the new date soon. Thank you for your understanding and patience.
The film 'Emergency' was earlier scheduled to release on 6 September, but its release was stopped. According to media reports, the CBFC (Central Board of Film Certification) wants to make more cuts in the film so that the religious sentiments of any person are not hurt. Although the board had earlier cleared the film, it later put a stay on the certification.
After this, the makers of 'Emergency', Zee Studios, approached the Bombay High Court seeking release of the film and a censor certificate.
This petition was heard on Wednesday, September 4 by a bench of Justices B.P. Colabawala and Firdaus Pooniwala.
The film could not be released on 6 September
The Bombay High Court had said that it cannot pass an order in this case so soon. A decision will be taken in this case by September 18 and the next hearing in this case will be held on September 19. In such a situation, Kangana's film 'Emergency' will not be released on September 6.
Kangana wants to release the film without any cuts
Regarding the film 'Emergency', Sikh organizations alleged that their community and the events related to it have been distorted in the film.
After this, CBFC withheld the certificate of the film and ordered the makers to remove some of its scenes. However, the film's director Kangana does not approve of this. She says that she will release the film without any cuts.
In the film 'Emergency', Kangana has played the role of former Prime Minister of the country Indira Gandhi. Apart from her, actors like Shreyas Talpade and Anupam Kher will also be seen in it.
