 "Emergency: Kangana Ranaut claims Certification of her directorial on Indira Gandhi biopic stopped because of 'death threats': 'We are under pressure not to show the assassination of...'")
Kangana Ranaut’s Emergency, which is based on the life of late former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi is set to hit the screens this Friday. However, the actor-director-producer turned-politician claims the certification has not been to her film because the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) is getting death threats.
“There are rumours doing the rounds that our film, Emergency, has been granted Censor certificate. This is not true. In fact, our film had been cleared but certification has been stopped because many threats were coming in. Death threats. The Censor Board members are getting threats. We are under pressure not to show the assassination of Indira Gandhi, not to show Bhindranwale, not to show the Punjab riots. I don’t know what will be left to show then… This is unbelievable for me and I am very sorry for the state of things in this country,” Kangana said as she shared a video on X (previously known as Twitter).

Talking to IANS she said, “It’s getting too late. I hope the film comes on time. Otherwise, I am determined to fight for it. I am determined to even go to court to protect my film. To save my right as an individual. You can’t change history and scare us by threats,” she said.
“We have to show the history. An almost 70-year-old woman was shot 30-35 times in her house… Someone must have killed her. Now you want to show it… Because apparently, you think you can hurt someone. But you have to show the history. So how did she die?” the actress added.
Emergency is inspired by the infamous Indian Emergency and will see Kangana Ranaut essaying the role of the former Prime Minister of India Indira Gandhi. In addition to this, Anupam Kher, Shreyas Talpade, Mahima Chaudhry and Milind Soman have also been roped in for significant roles in the drama.
