Kangana Ranaut's 'Emergency' can be released after making suggested cuts: CBFC tells Bombay High Court

By IBNS
Sep 26, 2024..

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 film, directed and co-produced by Ranaut—who is also a BJP MP—features her in the role of former prime minister Indira Gandhi.

Initially slated for release on Sept. 6, "Emergency" has been delayed due to disagreements with the censor board.

Several Sikh organizations have raised concerns, accusing the film of misrepresenting their community, and have approached the court to block its release.

CBFC’s counsel, Abhinav Chandrachud, told the Bombay HC, "The committee has suggested some cuts, which need to be made before the certificate can be issued and the movie released."

Sharan Jagtiani, senior counsel representing Zee Entertainment, the film’s co-producer, requested more time to review the proposed cuts.

The court has scheduled the next hearing for Sept. 30, according to reports.

The court was considering Zee’s petition, which calls for the release of the mandatory censor certificate.

The petition claims that while the CBFC had approved the certification, it had not yet issued it.

Last week, Zee Entertainment alleged that the delay was politically influenced due to upcoming elections in Haryana.

However, the court questioned why the ruling party would act against one of its own members.
