Kangana Ranaut starrer Emergency is one of the much-awaited films of the year 2024. The film release was postponed several times and it was finally announced for a grand release on September 6th across the globe. Now, as per the latest report, the release date of the film has been once again pushed.
The film landed into a controversy after the Sikh leaders across the nation protested and demanded a ban on the film. Some of the dialogues from the trailer have hurt the sentiments of the community.
Sikh groups argue that the trailer misrepresents their community, particularly through its portrayal of Khalistani separatist Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale. Several letters have been sent to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) and the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting to ban the release of the film.
As per Hindustan Times, additional solicitor general of India Satya Pal Jain, who appeared for the CBFC, told the court, “It (the certification) has not been granted as of now. It will be granted as per rules and regulations, as applicable in this case. If anyone has any grievance, the same can be sent to the board.”
However, there has been no official confirmation issued by the makers.
