Kangana Ranaut’s directorial debut Emergency delayed indefinitely due to pending certification
New Delhi: Actor-politician Kangana Ranaut’s solo directorial debut, Emergency, will not be released on September 6, 2024, as originally planned. According to a statement from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) provided to the Madhya Pradesh High Court, the film is still awaiting certification, as reported by Law Trend. The film cannot be legally screened without this essential certification, resulting in an indefinite postponement of its release.
The CBFC's statement noted that the film has not yet met the required standards for certification. As a result, its theatrical release has been delayed until further notice. Government sources told India Today that few religious organisations have raised concerns about the film and added that religious sentiments cannot be hurt. The sources further revealed that there is some sensitive content in the movie.
The BJP MP from Himachal Pradesh's Mandi remarked on X (formerly known as Twitter) that communists and leftists are given freedom to showcase anti-national expressions, indicating Anubhav Sinha’s Netflix series 'IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack,' but films addressing “the integrity and unity of Bharat” and “historic facts” face censorship.
Emergency depicts former Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and the controversial emergency period she imposed from 1975 to 1977. The film also reportedly explores the anti-Sikh riots that followed Gandhi's assassination, with allegations that it may have portrayed the Sikh community in a negative light.
Amid the Emergency row, Ranaut took to X on Tuesday to announce her next project, titled ‘Bharat Bhhagya Viddhata’. She described that the film is a cinematic tribute to unsung heroes. “Experience the magic of real-life heroism on the big screen! Ecstatic to announce Bharat Bhhagya Viddhata, a cinematic tribute to the unsung heroes, with talented producer duo Babita Ashiwal and Adi Sharmaa, and visionary director-writer Manoj Tapadia,” she wrote.
