Kangana Ranaut’s Emergency gets postponed, won’t release on September 6 amid controversies and certification issues | Hindi Movie News

Kangana Ranaut‘s upcoming film Emergency will not be released on September 6 as planned due to ongoing controversies. The film is still awaiting clearance from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), which has led to the postponement of its release.
Our sources reveal that the CBFC has yet to issue a show cause notice, and any required changes could delay the delivery of the film’s overseas prints.The certification process may take longer due to the sensitive nature of the film’s content. A meeting involving Kangana and her team is expected to take place tomorrow (on Monday) to discuss the next steps.
The CBFC has recommended several cuts to the film, but its certification is still under review. It remains uncertain when Emergency will eventually be released, with a potential delay of up to a week now being considered.

On Friday, Kangana took to Twitter to express her frustration. She stated that despite rumors claiming the film had received its censor certificate, the certification process had been halted due to threats received by CBFC members. She alleged that there was pressure not to depict certain historical events and figures, such as the assassination of Indira Gandhi and the Punjab riots.
The controversy began after the trailer for Emergency was released, which featured Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, a controversial figure in the Khalistan movement. This portrayal led to legal action from the Delhi unit of the Shiromani Akali Dal and strong reactions from Sikh organizations like the Akal Takht and the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC).

In response, Additional Solicitor General (ASG) Satyapal Jain informed the Punjab and Haryana High Court that the CBFC would take into account the sentiments of all communities, including the Sikh community. The court was reviewing a plea from Mohali residents challenging the film’s certification.
