Crisis over Kangana Ranaut's 'Emergency': Release delayed due to censor certificate hold-up amid protests

 

There is a crisis over the release of actress and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut's upcoming film 'Emergency'. The film was scheduled to release on September 6, but its release has been put on hold due to lack of a censor certificate. Apart from this, a group has taken to the streets in protest against the film. On one hand, Kangana Ranaut is making her best efforts for the release of the film. At the same time, the co-producer company of this film, Zee Entertainment Enterprises has also approached the court. The company filed a petition in the Bombay High Court, which was heard today on Wednesday.

While hearing the petition of the production company, the Bombay High Court on Wednesday said that a week's delay in the release of the film will not make much difference. The court heard the plea of the film's co-producer Zee Entertainment Enterprises Limited, which had sought a physical copy of the censor certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), so that the film could be released on the scheduled date of September 6. A bench of Justices BP Colabawala and Firdous P Pooniwala said, 'We will not dispose of the petition. But let them (CBFC) investigate the objections as per the order of the MP High Court (in three days). If the release of the film is delayed by a week, it will not make any difference.

According to news agency ANI, Zee Entertainment Enterprises, the co-producer company of the film 'Emergency', has filed a petition in the Bombay High Court. The company says that the Censor Board has withheld the censor certificate of the film 'Emergency' without any valid reason. The petition demands release and censor certificate of the film. This petition was heard today.

The film 'Emergency' is based on the emergency imposed in the country. In this, Kangana will be seen in the role of former PM Indira Gandhi. Kangana has not only acted in the film, but she has also taken the responsibility of direction. Apart from Kangana, this film also includes actors like Anupam Kher, Shreyas Talpade and Mahima Chaudhary. The release of the film 'Emergency' has been postponed several times before. Now this time, due to not getting the certificate from the Censor Board, there is a cloud over the release of the film.

Kangana has also expressed her displeasure over the film not getting the censor certificate. Regarding the ban on the release of the film, the actress said in Amar Ujala Samvad program, 'As a creative person, I am disappointed. My voice is being suppressed. I am being pressured not to show the film based on a true incident. Kangana further said that this film brings to us an amazing incident related to our Constitution. It is our right to talk about this topic.
