Kangana Ranaut reveals her film Emergency hasn’t got CBFC clearance yet and she will fight for it, read to know below!
Kangana Ranaut has recently raised concerns regarding her upcoming film Emergency, alleging that it has yet to receive certification from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). The film, slated for release on September 6, 2024, appears to be caught in a bureaucratic limbo, which has prompted Kangana to express her determination to fight for its release, even if it means taking legal action.
In an interview with IANS, Kangana shared her frustrations, stating, “Hopefully, my film got cleared from the censor. And the day we were about to get the certificate, a lot of people did a lot of drama.” She further elaborated that while she was initially confident about receiving the certification, unexpected hurdles have arisen, leaving her without the necessary clearance. Kangana criticized the censor board, claiming it has “become very hesitant” and reiterated her readiness to go to court if needed to protect her film and her rights as an individual. She emphasized the importance of portraying history accurately, despite potential backlash or threats. “We have to show the history… If they are going to suppress the voice of an artiste and my creative liberty… Some people have wielded their guns, and we are not afraid of guns,” she asserted.
The timing of these challenges coincides with growing calls to ban Emergency. In Telangana, the film faces potential prohibition after a delegation from the Telangana Sikh Society, led by former IPS officer Tejdeep Kaur Menon, accused it of portraying the Sikh community as terrorists and anti-nationals. Additionally, the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) and the Akhal Takht have demanded an immediate ban, claiming the film engages in “character assassination” of Sikhs by crafting a negative narrative against them.
