The release of Emergency, a political biopic centered on the life of Indira Gandhi during the 1975-77 Emergency, has faced delays due to certification issues with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).
The film, a biographical political thriller, delves into the life of Indira Gandhi, who imposed a 21-month emergency period from 1975 to 1977.
Producers Zee Entertainment Enterprises and Manikarnika Films informed the Bombay High Court that they have agreed to make the 13 cuts suggested by the CBFC’s revising committee. These edits are aimed at addressing concerns over the representation of certain historical events and communities.
The producers have requested two weeks to implement the changes, after which the film will be resubmitted to the CBFC for final approval. The CBFC, in turn, assured the court that it would finalize the film’s certification within two weeks after the resubmission.
Originally slated for release on September 6, Emergency has been delayed due to these certification hurdles, resulting in financial losses for the filmmakers, as mentioned by Kangana Ranaut in a previous interview.
Despite these challenges, the court proceedings have moved forward, and the parties involved are working towards a timely resolution to clear the film for release.
