The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) certification process has caused multiple delays in the release of Kangana Ranaut’s upcoming film Emergency, which has sparked criticism surrounding the film. The BJP MP stated on Friday that the “censor board should take responsibility for releasing the movie as soon as possible” in response to the following delay in its distribution.
The actress stated, “I know how I made this film… I did not get any support from the film industry. It’s made on a huge budget. I, along with Zee and other partners created Emergency, and now with the release delay, everyone is bearing a huge loss. Delay release is a loss for all. I think the censor board should take the responsibility to release this film at the earliest,” in an interview with ANI.
Kangana Ranauat made his remarks one day after the Bombay High Court criticised the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) for its decision to postpone the certification of the film “Emergency.” The censor board cannot deny a film certification just because there is a fear that it may cause law and order issues, according to the division bench of Justices B P Colabawalla and Firdosh Pooniwalla. They also stated that the freedom of speech and creativity cannot be restricted.
“A few people are being used, fringe groups are being instigated—the kind of things Rahul Gandhi speaks about the country when he goes abroad, people know it. What he feels about the country is not hidden from anyone. He doesn’t even hesitate to divide the country to get into power.” Kangana Ranaut stated in an interview with ANI.
In India, Rahul Gandhi caused uproar with remarks he made on a number of issues while visiting the US. During his speech in Virginia, the leader of the Congress stated that the debate revolves around whether Sikhs would be permitted to attend Gurdwaras and wear turbans in India.
“First of all, you have to understand what the fight is about. Fight is not about politics. It is superficial. What is your name? The fight is about whether…he as a Sikh is going to be allowed to wear his turban in India. Or he as a Sikh is going to be allowed to wear a kada in India. Or a Sikh is going to be able to go to Gurdwara. That’s what the fight is about and not just for him, for all religions,” Gandhi reportedly stated in a US lecture, according to ANI.
