Emergency Release Controversy: Actress Makes Shocking Revelation About CBFC Certification

Headlined by Kangana Ranaut, the Emergency movie release controversy is getting even more intense with each passing day. On Friday evening (August 30), Kangana took to social media and claimed that her film is yet to receive the censor board certificate by the CBFC. To note, the film is slated to hit cinemas on 6th September 2024.

In a video shared by the actress' team on Twitter (X), Kangana claimed that the certification of Emergency has been put on hold as the members of CBFC (Central Board of Film Certification) are receiving threats. She further alleged that she has been asked "not to show Indira Gandhi's assassination, not to show Bhindranwale, and not to show the Punjab riots."

Check out the video below:

In the video, Kangana is heard saying in Hindi, "There's a lot of rumours going around that our film 'Emergency' has received the censor certificate, but that is not true. Our film was cleared, but its certification has been halted because there are a lot of threats coming in. The censor board is receiving numerous threats. We are under pressure not to show Indira Gandhi's assassination, not to show Bhindranwale, and not to show the Punjab riots. I don't know what we are supposed to show then, that the film suddenly blacks out? This is an unbelievable time for me, and I am very sorry for the state of things in the country."
