After CBFC tells Bombay HC that Emergency can be released with ‘some cuts’, actor-director Kangana asserts she will fight for ‘integrity’ of Indira Gandhi biopi

The Central Film Certification Board has recommended several cuts to Kangana Ranaut's film 'Emergency' before it can be released. The board suggested removing specific dialogues and scenes involving Sikhs.

Kangana Ranuat's film Emergency, which was initially slated for a September 6 release, has been embroiled in a battle with the censor board for non-issuance of certificate for release of the movie.

Historian Makkhan Lal, appointed as subject expert by CBFC for Emergency, has defended the portrayal of late PM Indira Gandhi in the Kangana Ranaut-starrer.

Kangana Ranaut, who has directed and co-produced Emergency besides playing the lead role of former prime minister late Indira Gandhi, had accused the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) for stalling its certification process to delay the release.

Mumbai/IBNS: The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), the statutory film-certification body in the Union Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, on Thursday (Sept. 26) informed the Bombay High Court that Kangana Ranaut's film "Emergency" can be released after implementing cuts recommended by its revising committee.

The movie was supposed to be released on September 6 but ran into trouble after complaints were raised that claimed it has historical inaccuracies and misrepresents the Sikh community.

There is good news for those waiting for Kangana Ranaut's Emergency to release in theatres. The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) is ready to release Emergency - Kangana's directorial feature but with some cuts.

The initial release date for Emergency was set for September 6 but was postponed due to protests from Sikh groups. These groups allege that the film misrepresents their community. Advocate Sharan Jagtiani, representing Zee Studios, presented a document listing 11 changes—including cuts and insertions—that need to be made before the film's release. The filmmakers now have the option to either accept these changes or challenge them in court.
