CBFC stalling to give certificate to my film ‘Emergency’, says Kangana Ranaut
NEW DELHI, SEPT 2: Four days ahead of the scheduled premiere of Emergency, actor Kangana Ranaut has levelled allegations against the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) for stalling its certificate to delay the release.
Ranaut, who plays the role of former prime minister Indira Gandhi in the movie, said she will go to court if she doesn’t get a clearance on the uncut version.
“An emergency has been imposed on my film too. It’s a very hopeless state. I’m quite disappointed in our country and whatever the circumstances are. How much will we keep getting scared?,” she told Shubhankar Mishra on his podcast.

According to a source, the film has postponed its release on Friday because the makers are yet to receive the certification from the CBFC.
“Even though they (CBFC) have put a U/A certificate on their website, the makers haven’t received a copy of the certificate yet. Every day there’s a new cut being given to the film, which they are doing due to some pressure. Kangana is fighting for the sanctity of the film,” the source told PTI.
On Monday, the Madhya Pradesh High Court is slated to hear a Sikh body’s plea seeking directions to stop the release of “Emergency”.

Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on Friday sent a legal notice to CBFC seeking to prevent the release of Ranaut’s film, claiming it may “incite communal tensions” and “spread misinformation”.
It alleged the trailer of the film depicted “erroneous historical facts that not only misrepresent the Sikh community but also promote hatred and social discord”.
