Mumbai: Kangana Ranaut’s ‘Emergency’ has finally been passed by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).
“We are glad to announce we have received the censor certificate for our movie Emergency.. we will be announcing the release date soon. Thank you for your patience and support,” Kangana shared the news on her X handle on Thursday.
Kangana, who has directed and co-produced ‘Emergency’, also plays the role of former Indian PM Indira Gandhi in the much-anticipated film which is a political drama based on the latter’s controversial promulgation of emergency in the country in 1975.
‘Emergency’ was scheduled to release in theatres last year, but had to endure several postponements. Even the last release date, September 6, could not be met because of political pressures, objections from Sikh community and CBFC’s reluctance to clear the controversial film.
CBFC suggested certain changes and cuts, which Kangana and other producers finally agreed to late last month.
Once the makers carried out the changes, CBFC gave the green signal.
The film can now be released without any further ado, after Kangana decides on a date.
