Kangana Ranaut's film 'Emergency' has been delayed due to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) withholding its certification amidst controversies and legal objections. Initially scheduled for release on September 6, the Bombay High Court refused to direct CBFC to grant certification, citing an order from the Madhya Pradesh High Court that requires the CBFC to consider objections from Sikh organizations accusing the film of misrepresentation. Ranaut, who portrays Indira Gandhi in the biographical drama, expressed her frustration over the delay and accused the CBFC of stalling certification due to external pressures. The court has directed the CBFC to make a decision by September 18, with the next hearing scheduled for September 19. The film has faced backlash from Sikh groups and has led Zee Entertainment Enterprises, the co-producer, to file petitions accusing CBFC of arbitrary withholding of the certificate. The uncertainty surrounding the film's release continues as legal and censorship issues persist.
