Kangana Ranaut drops post regarding Emergency release delay

A few daysago, Kangana shared a video on her X handle. She said, “There are rumours doing the rounds that our film, Emergency, has been granted Censor certificate. This is not true. In fact, our film had been cleared but certification has been stopped because many threats were coming in. Death threats. The Censor Board members are getting threats. We are under pressure not to show the assassination of Indira Gandhi, not to show Bhindranwale, not to show the Punjab riots. I don’t know what will be left to show then… This is unbelievable for me and I am very sorry for the state of things in this country.”

Meanwhile, the biographical political drama revolves around the 21-month period from 1975 to 1977 when the late Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi imposed a state of emergency across India. Kangana Ranaut will play the role of Indira Gandhi in the film which also marks her solo directorial debut.

The film also features Anupam Kher, Shreyas Talpade, Vishak Nair, Mahima Chaudhry, Milind Soman, and Satish Kaushik in pivotal roles.
