Actress Kangana Ranaut’s film ‘Emergency’ has been postponed after it failed to get a certificate from the Censor Board of Film Certification (CBFC). A source close to the film told IndiaToday.in that the actress now hopes that the film will release in the “next 10 days”. Some members and representatives of the Sikh community have objected to their portrayal, filing a petition against the film and requesting a complete ban on its screening.

A source close to Kangana’s team told us that the actress is concerned about the delay and wants the film to hit the screens as soon as possible. The source said, “‘Emergency’ has been postponed. Kangana hopes it will hit the release date in the next 10 days. The new date is being decided due to censorship issues and also, death threats being given to her. The actress wants the film to release as soon as possible without any delay.”

Kangana said, “I am disappointed with the country”

Earlier in an interview, Kangana had expressed her disappointment over the delay in the release of the film and said that she was tired of proving herself. The actress said, “An emergency has been imposed on my film. This situation is very disappointing. I am very disappointed with my country, and whatever the situation is. (Now emergency has been imposed on my film. It is a very terrible situation. I am very disappointed with my country and the kind of things are happening here)

She also pointed out that ‘Emergency’ is not the first film in which the events of the ‘Emergency’ era have been shown on screen. The actress said that this incident has been shown earlier in Madhur Bhandarkar’s ‘Indu Sarkar’ and Meghna Gulzar’s ‘Sam Bahadur’ without any objection from any community. Kangana also questioned the censor board for first issuing the certificate and then cancelling it after petitions from some individuals against the film.

“I have made this film with a lot of self-respect, which is why the CBFC cannot raise any issue. They have withheld my certificate, but I am determined to release the uncut version of the film. I will fight in court and release the uncut version. I cannot suddenly show that Indira Gandhi died in her own home. I cannot show it like this,” she said on Shubhankar Mishra’s podcast.

The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee had earlier called Emergency an “anti-Sikh film”, objecting to its content. Harjinder Singh Dhami, president of the committee representing the Sikh community, wrote a note on social media platform X on August 21, alleging that Kangana has “often deliberately expressed such expressions that incite the sentiments of Sikhs”. Dhami also questioned the CBFC and demanded the inclusion of a Sikh member in the board.
