Four days ahead of the scheduled premiere of ‘Emergency’, actor Kangana Ranaut has levelled allegations against the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) for stalling its certificate to delay the release.

Ranaut, who plays the role of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in the movie, said she will go to court if she doesn’t get a clearance on the uncut version, PTI reported from New Delhi.

“An emergency has been imposed on my film too. It’s a very hopeless state. I’m quite disappointed in our country and whatever the circumstances are… How much will we keep getting scared?

“I’ve made this film with a lot of self-respect which is why the CBFC can’t point out any contention. They’ve stalled my certificate, but I’m determined to release an uncut version of the film. I’ll fight in court and release an uncut version,” she told Shubhankar Mishra on his podcast.

According to a source, the film isn’t releasing on Friday because the makers are yet to receive the certification from the CBFC.

“Even though they (CBFC) have put a U/A certificate on their website, the makers haven’t received the copy of the certificate yet. Everyday there’s a new cut being given to the film, which they are doing due to some pressure. Kangana is fighting for the sanctity of the film,” the source told PTI.

Meanwhile, another PTI report stated that drawing parallels between ‘Emergency’ and Netflix series ‘IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack’, Ranaut said censorship is only for those who make films based on historic facts, while violence and nudity can be shown on streamers.

“Law of the land is that one can show unimaginable amount of violence and nudity on OTT platforms without any consequence or censorship, one can even distort real life events to suit their politically motivated sinister motives, there is all the freedom for communists or leftists across the world for such anti national expressions…” she alleged.

Last week, Ranaut — also the director, writer, and co-producer of ‘Emergency’ — said her film is still stuck with the censor board contrary to rumours that it has been cleared for release.

She had also said she is under pressure to not show the assassination of the former prime minister by her security guards.

Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on Friday last sent a legal notice to CBFC seeking to prevent the release of Ranaut’s film, claiming it may “incite communal tensions” and “spread misinformation”.

It alleged the trailer of the film depicted “erroneous historical facts that not only misrepresent the Sikh community but also promote hatred and social discord”.
