Controversy Surrounding Kangana Ranaut's Film 'Emergency' Over Religious Concerns

The government is treading cautiously regarding the release of Kangana Ranaut's film 'Emergency' due to objections raised by the Shiromani Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee. The film, which depicts former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, has not yet received clearance from the Central Board of Film Certification, leading to delays and criticisms from Ranaut.

The government is taking a cautious approach in the controversy surrounding Kangana Ranaut's upcoming film 'Emergency' after the Shiromani Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC) raised objections. The film, directed by Ranaut, was initially scheduled for release on September 6 but has yet to secure clearance from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).

A senior government source emphasized the need to tread carefully on religious matters. 'Emergency,' where Ranaut portrays former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, has drawn concerns from the SGPC, which the government is taking seriously.

The delay in certification led Ranaut to express her frustration, describing the situation as 'hugely demotivating and unjust.' She highlighted the discrepancy in censorship standards, comparing it to the content freely available on OTT platforms without consequences.
