Emergency vs CBFC
Emergency has been making news for a couple of controversies where Sikh bodies and others have demanded a ban on the movie. After an intense episode, it was revealed yesterday that Kangana and her team are making the cuts suggested by the Revising Committee. Now as per a new report, this has left Ranaut and her team unhappy, but they are succumbing to it for the larger good of their movie.
A source close to the development, in conversation with Mid-Day, said, “Even though the team is not happy with the cuts, they have given in to the CBFC’s demands in order to release Emergency on time. The team believes that even after the cuts, the film tells an important story about a significant chapter of our political history.”
The source went on to add how Kangana Ranaut wants the best for the movie, and even if it means succumbing to the CBFC demands, she is fine with it. “The makers are focused on keeping the key parts intact. Despite the challenges, they are waiting to show Emergency to the audience so that they can understand the significance of democracy,” the source added. But the team finally had to agree with the terms and got the green signal.
