Kangana Ranaut’s Emergency is struggling to receive a green signal from the Central Board of Film Certification. Now the makers of the political thriller have agreed to cuts suggested by BCFC. The film is based on the dark phase of Indian political history when a 21-month emergency was imposed by then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Amidst the controversy, CBFC suggested 13 cuts and announced that the riveting committee could provide a certification only if these changes are made. 

On Monday September 30, the makers Kangana Ranaut and co-producing company Zee Studios agreed to accept the suggested changes. In the latest hearing, Zee Studios representative informed the court that they have submitted a format for the implementation of the changes and are waiting for the board to respond now. Further hearing in the matter is scheduled for October 3. 

This was confirmed by the news agency ANI through Twitter account. The tweet read, "Production company Zee Studio’s lawyer told Bombay HC that they have agreed to the suggested changes by the Revising Committee, and they have submitted a format for the implementation of the changes suggested by the CBFC. CBFC will respond to this format and the next hearing on the matter is kept on Thursday, 3rd October.”

This comes after Sikh groups protested claiming that the film portrays their community negatively. CBFC's counsel, Abhinav Chandrachud replied to 13 cuts suggested by CBFC. He said, "The cuts suggested don't even touch a minute of the film. It's just some words here and there." 

Emergency was initially scheduled to open in theaters on September 6 but just 4 days ahead of theatrical release CBFC stalled certification. Kangana Ranaut who directed and produced the movie also headlines the project playing former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. The film stars an ensemble cast including Anupam Kher, Shreyas Talpade, Mahima Chaudhary, Milind Soman and the late Satish Kaushil in leading roles.
