Kangana Ranaut’s upcoming film Emergency, based on the controversial period of the Emergency imposed by Indira Gandhi in 1975, is set to release soon. However, the film has hit a roadblock with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), which has directed the filmmakers to remove certain portions from the film before its official release.
Reacting to the CBFC’s order, Kangana expressed her surprise and disappointment but made it clear that she would abide by the board’s decision. She emphasized her commitment to portraying the truth and the reality of historical events through her films. Despite the cuts, Kangana stated that she would not compromise on the core message of the film, which aims to shed light on a significant chapter of Indian history.
Kangana, who plays the role of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in the film, further mentioned that she has always been a strong proponent of freedom of expression and truth in cinema. While she acknowledged the CBFC’s role in regulating content, she made it clear that she would continue to use her platform to address important issues, regardless of opposition.
Emergency explores the tumultuous period when Indira Gandhi declared a state of emergency in India, leading to widespread political and social unrest. The film delves into the personal and political challenges faced during this period.
As the movie nears its release, the controversy surrounding the CBFC’s intervention has only fueled public curiosity. Kangana’s unwavering stance and her portrayal of a historical figure in a sensitive context are likely to keep the film in the spotlight, making it a topic of significant debate in the media.
