Mumbai, October 17: The highly anticipated political thriller ‘Emergency’, starring and directed by Kangana Ranaut, has been officially approved by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).
The announcement was made by Kangana on Thursday via her X (formerly Twitter) account, where she expressed her excitement.
"We are glad to announce we have received the censor certificate for our movie Emergency. We will be announcing the release date soon. Thank you for your patience and support," her post read.
In a previous interview, Kangana revealed the challenges the makers faced due to the delay in the film's release.
She highlighted the financial strain caused by the postponement, stating, "It's made on a huge budget... and now with the release delay, everyone is bearing a huge loss. I think the Censor Board should take responsibility to release this film at the earliest."
Emergency delves into the life of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and the 21-month emergency period imposed from 1975 to 1977, a defining moment in India's political history.
The film has been surrounded by controversies, particularly backlash from several Sikh groups.
Despite the hurdles, the movie is produced by Zee Studios and Manikarnika Films and promises to provide a gripping portrayal of historical events during one of India's most turbulent times.
