CBFC Suggests Cuts And Modifications For Kangana Ranaut’s Emergency For Release, Court Told

New Delhi: The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) on Thursday informed the Bombay High Court that actor and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut’s film ‘Emergency’ can be released only if certain cuts are made as suggested by the film body’s revising committee. The CBFC’s response came on a plea filed by Zee Studios, the co-producer of ‘Emergency’, seeking the release of the censor certificate to the film, which initially was to be released on September 6 before being postponed amid protests by Sikh groups, who claim the film misrepresents their community.

Appearing for the CBFC, advocate Abhinav Chandrachud told a bench of Justices BP Colabawalla and Firdosh Pooniwalla that the CBFC’s revising committee suggested some cuts for the film. Advocate Sharan Jagtiani, appearing on behalf of Zee, got a document which showed about 11 modifications to be done in the film before it is released, India Today.

The 11 modifications suggested include some cuts and insertions to be done in the film. Now it is up to the filmmakers to decide whether they will agree to these modifications or will challenge them.

The High Court adjourned the matter to September 30 (Monday).

Notably, on September 4, the Bombay High Court refused to direct the CBFC to immediately issue a certificate to ‘Emergency’. Sikh organisations raised concerns over the portrayal of their community and the accuracy of historical facts in the film. They have called for a complete ban of the movie.
