Still uncertain

Actor-filmmaker Kangana Ranaut’s upcoming political drama Emergency has encountered a roadblock at the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). In a video message on social media, she denied rumours that her film has been certified for release. “This is not true. In fact, our film was cleared earlier, but its certification has been halted due to several threats,” she stated. The thriller, based on the 1975 Emergency, has recently been in the headlines as a section of people have protested against its content. Kangana, who also serves as a Parliamentarian from Mandi, Himachal Pradesh, revealed that both she and members of the Censor Board have received threats. Additionally, there is immense pressure to cut certain scenes, such as Indira Gandhi’s assassination, the involvement of Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, and the subsequent Punjab riots of 1984. Kangana added, “I don’t know what we will show then—just a blackout in the film? This is an unbelievable time for me, and I am sorry for the state of things in this country.” Emergency, initially scheduled for release last October is now slated to arrive on September 6. Recently, the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) issued a legal notice to the CBFC, demanding a halt to the film’s release, citing concerns that it could incite communal tension and spread misinformation, particularly regarding the portrayal of the Sikh community.
