Last month, the Bombay High Court had ordered the Censor Board to decide any representations by Sikh bodies, groups or individuals who had objections to the September 6 release of the film. The examining committee of CBFC had cleared the film for a ‘UA’ certification on the condition that the filmmakers make three cuts and provide factual sources for controversial historical statements. As per media reports, among the cuts, the committee suggested that the makers delete or replace certain visuals in a scene depicting Pakistani soldiers attacking Bangladeshi refugees. ‘Emergency’: Makers of Kangana Ranaut-Starrer Agree to Cuts Suggested by CBFC; Bombay HC Closes Case.
‘Emergency’ is based on India’s Emergency period between 1975-1977 imposed by Indira Gandhi. During the period of emergency, the civil rights and freedom of press were heavily curtailed. In the film, Kangana essays the role of then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. It also stars Shreyas Talpade, Milind Soman, Mahim Chaudhary, Anupam Kher, Satish Kaushik, Vishak Nair, plus others, and the screenplay by Ritesh Shah. The film marks Kangana’s second directorial after ‘Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi’ which was released in 2019.
