Kangana Ranaut’s upcoming movie Emergency is making headlines even before getting released in cinema as various Sikh associations have demanded ban on the movie, citing that it shows the Sikh community in bad light. Recently, during an interview, Kangana revealed that her movie hasn’t got certification from CBFC till now and she is ready to fight for it in court, if needed.
Kangana said, “Hopefully. My film got cleared from the censor. And the day we were about to get the certificate, a lot of people did a lot of drama. There are a lot of issues with the censor as well. So I hope it gets released. Because suddenly, as they say, the carpet is pulled from someone’s feet. I was very confident that I got the certification. But now they are not giving me my certificate.”
She added, “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.”
Kangana further said, “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? So I said, let’s put a plate on the wall that she died because she was shot in the sky. If they are going to suppress the voice of an artiste and my creative liberty… Some people have wielded their guns and we are not afraid of guns.”
The movie is going to release on 6 September 2024 and it also stars Anupam Kher and Shreyas Talpade in important roles.
