Mumbai: Kangana Ranaut’s upcoming film ‘Emergency’ has run into trouble, with the actor-politician getting death threats and Shiromani Akali Dal urging the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to stop its release in theatres.
Kangana, who essays the role of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, has also directed and produced the film as well as written the script.
In a video message on Friday evening, BJP’s Lok Sabha MP from Mandi claimed that the movie is still stuck with the film certification board and lamented the state of affairs in this country.
“There are rumours that our film ‘Emergency’ has got a censor certificate. It is not true. In fact, our film was cleared earlier but its certification has been stopped because of several threats,” Kangana has said in a video message posted on X.
“People of the censor board are also getting a lot of threats. There is pressure on us to not show the assassination of Mrs Gandhi, Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale and the Punjab riots. I don’t know what we will show then, that there is a blackout in the film? This is unbelievable time for me and I am very sorry for this state of things in this country,” the ‘Manikarnika’ actor rues.
Kangana’s disappointment is understandable as the scheduled release of ‘Emergency’ on September 6 has been put under a cloud.
