Release of Kangana Ranaut's 'Emergency' Postponed Amidst Controversies
The much-anticipated release of Kangana Ranaut's film Emergency has been postponed from its initial release date of September 6. The biographical political thriller, in which Ranaut portrays former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, is facing multiple hurdles that have led to the delay.
Emergency explores a pivotal period in Indian history—the 21-month emergency period imposed by Indira Gandhi from 1975 to 1977. The film, produced by Zee Studios and Manikarnika Films, aims to offer a gripping portrayal of this turbulent time, delving into the political and social ramifications of the emergency.
The film has been at the center of controversy since its announcement. It has faced backlash from various Sikh groups, who have expressed concerns about the film’s depiction of sensitive historical events. Additionally, Emergency has yet to receive a green signal from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), adding to the uncertainties surrounding its release.
These controversies have not only created a buzz but also contributed to the decision to postpone the film's release. The postponement also follows a prior delay attributed to Kangana Ranaut’s active involvement in the Lok Sabha elections, which impacted the film's schedule.
Despite the challenges, the team behind Emergency remains optimistic. They believe in the film’s potential to resonate with audiences and shed light on a significant chapter of Indian history.
