Actor-politician Kangana Ranaut's 'Emergency' has received a UA certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). The makers have been asked to cut scenes and add disclaimers in a few sequences, sources confirmed, CBFC has asked filmmakers to give disclaimers on historical events depicted in the film.
The release date of the film has not been finalised yet.
A UA certificate implies that the movie can be viewed by audiences of different age groups, but with parental guidance. According to reports, Emergency was submitted for a review on July 8 to the censor board. However, last month, the film ran into trouble after various Sikh organisations, including Akal Takht and the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee, began demanding that the film be banned over its portrayal of the Sikh community.
Multiple Sikh organisations wrote to the censor board and even approached the court.
Later, Emergency's director and producer Kangana Ranaut shared a statement on X about the film's delay and mentioned, "With a heavy heart, I announce that my directorial Emergency has been postponed. We are still waiting for the certification from the censor board. The new release date will be announced soon. Thanks for your understanding and patience."
Emergency, also starring Anupam Kher, Shreyas Talpade, among others, was originally scheduled to release on September 6 in cinemas.
