The producers of Kangana Ranaut’s film, Emergency, have agreed to make the changes suggested by the Revising Committee. The makers had approached the Bombay High Court with regard to the certification of the film. In a hearing on Monday, Production company Zee Studio’s lawyer told Bombay HC that they have agreed to the suggested changes by the Revising Committee.
They have submitted a format for the implementation of the changes suggested by the CBFC. CBFC will respond to this format and the next hearing on the matter is kept on Thursday, October 3. Emergency was origianlly set to release last month. However, it has been delayed due to non-certification.
Last week, Kangana expressed her disappointment over the delayed release. She took to X and deemed CBFC’s decision to withhold Emergency certificate ‘illegal’. She also reacted to Bombay High Court’s order on the delay in clearance of her upcoming film Emergency by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). She shared a post by Live Law and wrote, “High court has blasted censor for illegally withholding the certificate of #emergency.”
Speaking with IANS, Kangana said, “It’s getting too late. I hope the film comes on time. Otherwise, I am determined to fight for it. I am determined to even go to court to protect my film. To save my right as an individual. You can’t change history and scare us by threats.”
“We have to show the history. An almost 70-year-old woman was shot 30-35 times in her house… Someone must have killed her. Now you want to show it… Because apparently, you think you can hurt someone. But you have to show the history. So how did she die?” the actress added.
Meanwhile, several people have expressed their concerns about the film’s release. Earlier this month, Sikh organisations objected to its release. The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) and the Akhal Takht have also demanded an immediate ban on the film, claiming it tries to “character assassinate” Sikhs by creating a narrative against them.
