Kangana Ranaut says 'disappointed with country' after 'Emergency' gets postponed

In an interview recently, Kangana Ranaut expressed her disappointment with the censor board for revoking the certificate given to 'Emergency' following petitions against the film.

Actor Kangana Ranaut's film 'Emergency' has been postponed yet again. The actor now expressed her disappointment with the delay in the film's release and called it unfair. In an interview recently, Kangana mentioned that her film is true to the facts and yet there are claims of it targetting a particular community.

The actor was present on a podcast with Shubhankar Mishra when she said she was "disappointed with the country". Kangana said in Hindi, "Meri film pe hi Emergency lag gayi hai. Bahut hi nirashajanak ye sthiti hai. Main toh khair bahut hi zyada disappointed hu apne desh se, aur jo bhi haalaat hain [An Emergency has been imposed on my film now. It's a terrible situation. I am very disappointed with our nation and how things are unfolding here]."

The actor, who recently became a Member of the Parliament from her hometown, Mandi in Himachal Pradesh, added that the part of Indian history that she has shown in 'Emergency' has already been featured in movies like 'Indu Sarkar' and 'Sam Bahadur', among others. Kangana questioned why the censor certificate given to the film was revoked once the members of CBFC (Central Board of Film Certification) watched it and approved of it.

The popular actor said the committee took cognisance of various petitions filed against her and the film while revoking the certificate. Kangana shared that while she's fearless, others get easily scared. She said, "We'll keep telling those ridiculous stories otherwise. We'll get scared by someone today, someone else tomorrow. People will keep scaring us because we get scared so easily. How much will we keep getting scared?"

The actor, who also directed the film, went on to reveal that she is trying to find a way to release the "uncut version" of the film. "I've made this film with a lot of self-respect, which is why the CBFC can't point out any contention. They've stalled my certificate, but I'm determined to release an uncut version of the film. I'll fight in court and release an uncut version. I can't show all of a sudden that Indira Gandhi died on her own at her home. I can't show it like that," Kangana said.

'Emergency', which is produced by Manikarnika Films and Zee Studios, has faced brickbats from various Sikh groups in the country for allegedly showing the community in a bad light. Several Sikh bodies also wrote to the government, demanding a complete ban on the film. Some of the Sikh leaders also questioned the absence of a representative from the community on the censor board committee.

The film also features Anupam Kher, Milind Soman, Shreyas Talpade and the late Satish Kaushik. It was initially scheduled for release on September 6.
