Kangana Ranaut's film 'Emergency' will undergo cuts and edits recommended by the CBFC's revising committee.
Mumbai (Maharashtra), October 4: Zee Entertainment Enterprises and Manikarnika Films Production House informed the Bombay High Court on Friday that they have accepted the cuts recommended by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) for the film 'Emergency.'
During the hearing, the producers requested two weeks to implement the necessary edits according to the CBFC's suggestions before resubmitting the film for certification. The CBFC also notified the court that it would review the modifications and finalize the film's certification within two weeks after the changes are made.
'Emergency,' which was initially set to be released on September 6, has encountered delays due to ongoing certification issues. Last week, the CBFC informed the court that the film could be approved for release if specific cuts recommended by the board's revising committee were made.
Earlier in September, Kangana Ranaut discussed the challenges faced by the makers of 'Emergency' due to the delay in the film's release during an interview.Â
"I know how I made this film... I did not receive any support from the film industry. It was produced on a substantial budget. Together with Zee and other partners, I created 'Emergency,' and now, with the release delay, everyone is suffering significant losses. A delay in release is a loss for all. I believe the Censor Board should take responsibility for ensuring this film is released as soon as possible," she stated.
The film is a biographical political thriller that explores the life of Indira Gandhi, who declared a 21-month emergency period from 1975 to 1977.
