Emergency: Kangana Ranaut's Film Set for Release After Legal Battles and Censor Board Modifications..

Kangana Ranaut's film Emergency co-produced by Zee Studios and Manikarnika Films, which is Ranaut's own production company, in all probability is set to be released soon, as per my sources and media briefings.

The film portrays the controversial period of the Emergency in India and features Ranaut as former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.

The latest update on Kangana Ranaut's film Emergency involves an ongoing legal issue regarding its release. During a court hearing on September 30, 2024, Zee Studios, which co-produced the film, informed the Bombay High Court that they have agreed to the modifications suggested by the Censor Board of Film Certification (CBFC). 

The changes were recommended due to concerns raised, particularly by Sikh groups, about the film's portrayal of their community. The modifications include editing certain scenes, like references to Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale and violent imagery.

The CBFC had initially provided guidance for 11 cuts to the film, which Zee Studios and Kangana Ranaut have now agreed to implement. As a result, the film is awaiting approval to receive its certification, allowing it to move forward with its release. The next court hearing is set for October 3, 2024.

The film, which explores the period of India's Emergency in the 1970s under then-Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, had faced delays due to protests and the CBFC's concerns.

The film production company Zee Studios informed the Bombay High Court that they agreed to implement changes suggested by the Censor Board of Film Certification (CBFC). The case has been adjourned to October 3, 2024, for further hearing.
