Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut is in the news these days for her upcoming movie Emergency. A lot of controversy is also being seen regarding Kangana’s Emergency. Ever since the trailer of this film was released, there has been a lot of uproar about it. Due to this, the film was scheduled to release in theaters on September 6, but its release was banned. Before its release was banned due to controversy, the examining committee of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) had approved it for ‘UA’ certification on the condition that the filmmakers would make three cuts and provide factual sources for the controversial historical statements shown in it.
Cut on such words
According to information received by Sunday Express, three scenes have been cut which the CBFC found objectionable. These include US President Richard Nixon’s derogatory comments about Indian women and Winston Churchill’s description of Indians ‘breeding like rabbits’.
The film is based on the life of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi
The story of Kangana Ranaut’s film Emergency is based on the life of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, who, while being the PM, imposed a 21-month emergency in the country from 1975 to 1977. Indira Gandhi was heavily criticized for this during that time. Kangana is playing the role of Indira Gandhi in the film.
Pressure to not show the riots in Punjab
Recently, Kangana had said on Twitter, ‘Along with them, the people of the Censor Board are also getting a lot of threats. We are under pressure not to show the assassination of Mrs. Gandhi, Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale and the riots in Punjab. I am unable to understand what to show next. I don’t know what to show then that the film suddenly goes black out. This is an unbelievable time for me and I am feeling sad seeing the situation in the country right now.’
