No Support From Industry: Kangana On ‘Emergency’ Delay

MANDI (ANI) – Actor Kangana Ranaut’s film ‘Emergency’, which was supposed to be released in theatres on September 6, is still awaiting clearance from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).

Kangana, speaking on the repercussions being faced by the makers of the ‘Emergency’ due to delay in the release of the film said, “I know how I made this film… I did not get any support from the film industry. It’s made on a huge budget. I along with Zee and other partners created Emergency, and now with the release delay, everyone is bearing a huge loss. Delay release is a loss for all. I think the censor board should take the responsibility to release this film at the earliest,” she said.

The film, a biographical political thriller, delves into the life of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, who imposed a 21-month emergency period from 1975 to 1977. Its mainly caught up in controversy after several Sikh groups accused the film of misrepresenting the community and misinterpreting historical facts.

Besides Kangana, ‘Emergency’ also features Anupam Kher, late Satish Kaushik, Shreyas Talpade and Mahima Chaudhry.
