The release of Kangana Ranaut’s film “Emergency” has been postponed once again. Originally set to hit theaters on the 6th of this month, the film has encountered multiple delays due to various issues. The latest setback stems from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) not issuing a certificate.
Kangana Ranaut took to Instagram to share the news, expressing her frustration: “I’m sad to announce that ‘Emergency,’ which I directed, has been postponed yet again. We are still waiting for the censor board to issue a certificate. A new release date will be announced soon. Thank you to the audience for your understanding.”

In an attempt to expedite the process, Kangana approached the Bombay High Court for assistance in obtaining the censor certificate. However, the court clarified that it cannot direct the CBFC to issue the certificate, leading to yet another delay.
The film has faced criticism since its promotional materials were released. The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) has sent a letter to the censor board regarding the film, and Kangana has reportedly received death threats over the issue.
“Emergency” is set against the backdrop of India’s Emergency period and features Kangana in the role of Indira Gandhi. In addition to directing, Kangana is also the producer of the film. The cast includes Anupam Kher and Mahima Chaudhry in significant roles.
