The highly anticipated release of Kangana Ranaut’s film “Emergency” has hit another stumbling block, causing significant delays in its planned theatrical debut on September 6. The film, which has been surrounded by numerous controversies, is currently awaiting clearance from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).
Multiple reports indicate that the CBFC has not yet issued a show cause notice, and any mandatory changes required by the board could further delay the delivery of the film’s overseas prints. The sensitive nature of the film, which delves into the assassination of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi by her security guards, has complicated the certification process, making it lengthier than usual.
A report from Times Entertainment reveals that the CBFC has recommended several cuts to the film, leading to a thorough review of its certification. A meeting to discuss these issues is expected to take place tomorrow, with Kangana Ranaut and her team scheduled to attend.
Adding to the tension, Kangana Ranaut recently took to social media platform X to voice her frustration over the certification delays. She expressed feeling pressured not to depict the assassination of Indira Gandhi, highlighting the controversial aspects that are causing regulatory hurdles.
As of now, there is no definitive timeline for when “Emergency” will receive its certification or when it will eventually hit the theaters. The uncertainty continues to loom large over one of the most awaited films of the year, keeping fans and stakeholders on edge.
