Movie News
Kangana Ranaut's much-anticipated and controversial film *Emergency* has finally received its censor certificate. The actress-director took to social media to announce the news, expressing her happiness.
"We are thrilled to have received the censor certificate for our film *Emergency*. We will soon announce the release date," Kangana tweeted.
The film, directed and acted by Kangana, is based on the life of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, with Kangana portraying her role. Originally slated for release in November last year, the film faced multiple delays, pushing its release first to June this year, and then to September 6.
The delays were largely due to objections raised by the censor board. The film, which depicts the 21-month-long Emergency imposed during Indira Gandhi’s regime, faced resistance from various Sikh organizations. These groups, along with the censor board, raised concerns about the portrayal of sensitive subjects like Indira Gandhi’s assassination, the Punjab riots, and the character of Bhindranwale. Kangana even claimed that there were death threats against censor board members regarding the film.
Initially, Kangana resisted making the cuts suggested by the censor board, but after persistent demands, she eventually agreed to some modifications, which led to the film being cleared.
Kangana recently revealed that she faced significant financial challenges due to the film. She even sold one of her cherished properties in Mumbai to manage the debts and interest accumulated from the production of *Emergency*.
