Kangana Ranaut has been eagerly awaiting the release of her film Emergency, but the project has faced delays for various reasons. Originally scheduled to release on September 6, the film’s future seemed uncertain due to ongoing controversies. However, Kangana has now provided a promising update, confirming that the film has received its certification and a release date will be announced soon.
On her Instagram story, Kangana wrote, “We have received the certificate for our movie Emergency, we will be announcing the release date soon, thank you for your patience and support. @manikarnikafilms @zeestudiosofficial @nishantpitti.”
Earlier, Kangana voiced her frustration regarding the delay. On X, she criticized the CBFC’s decision to withhold the film’s certificate, calling it “illegal.” She also responded to a Bombay High Court ruling concerning the delayed clearance of Emergency by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). Sharing a post by Live Law, she remarked, “High court has blasted censor for illegally withholding the certificate of #emergency.”
In a conversation with IANS, Kangana expressed her determination to fight for the timely release of the film, saying, “It’s getting too late. I hope the film comes on time. Otherwise, I am determined to fight for it. I am determined to even go to court to protect my film. To save my right as an individual. You can’t change history and scare us by threats.”
Addressing the film’s subject, she added, “We have to show the history. An almost 70-year-old woman was shot 30-35 times in her house… Someone must have killed her. Now you want to show it… Because apparently, you think you can hurt someone. But you have to show the history. So how did she die?”
The trailer, released in August, revealed that Emergency will focus on the tumultuous Emergency period in India during the 1980s. Kangana, who is both directing and starring in the film, portrays the role of Indira Gandhi. The film also features Anupam Kher, Milind Soman, Mahima Chaudhry, and Shreyas Talpade. Shreyas Talpade plays Atal Bihari Vajpayee, while Anupam Kher portrays Jayaprakash Narayan. The late Satish Kaushik will also be seen in the role of former Deputy Prime Minister Jagjivan Ram.
