    Kangana Ranaut’s directorial 'Emergency' has hit a roadblock. The film, which features Ranaut as former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, was initially set to release on September 6, 2024. However, it has now been postponed.

    Trade analyst Taran Adarsh broke the news on X (formerly Twitter). He wrote, '#BreakingNews...#Emergency postponed... Won't release on 6 Sept 2024. #ZeeStudios #KanganaRanaut.' Neither Kangana nor Zee Studios, have provided a statement regarding the delay. Kangana's production house, Manikarnika Films, has also remained silent.

    On August 30, Kangana posted a video on social media addressing rumours about the film’s certification status. She said, 'Kayi tarah ki afwahein ud rahi hain ki humari film Emergency ko censor certificate mil gaya hai. It is not true. In fact, humari film clear ho gayi thi lekin uski certification rok li gayi hai kyuki bohot zyada dhamkiya aa rhi hain jaan se maaar dene ki censor waalo ko' (There have been rumors circulating that my film Emergency has been certified by the Censor Board. This is not true. While our film did receive clearance from the CBFC, the certification was delayed due to numerous death threats against members of the censor board).

    The controversy began after the film’s trailer was released. The Delhi unit of 'Shiromani Akali Dal' sent a legal notice to the CBFC, requesting that the film’s release be halted due to the negative portrayal of Sikhs. According to reports, the film board requested additional cuts, to address the concerns of communities.

    The Shiromani Akali Dal’s legal notice claimed the film could 'incite communal tensions' and 'spread misinformation.'

    Kangana Ranaut has expressed frustration over the situation on X. She said, '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… This is unbelievable time for me and I am very sorry for this state of things in this country.'

    More about the film

    Emergency also features Anupam Kher, Mahima Chaudhary, Milind Soman, Shreyas Talpade, Vishak Nair, and the late Satish Kaushik in key roles.
