Kangana Ranaut Accepts Censor Board’s Cuts On ‘Emergency’

New Delhi: Bollywood actor-turned- BJP MP, Kangana Ranaut has agreed to Central Board for Film Certification (CBFC) directions for cuts in her directorial movie “Emergency”.

During the hearing of the case, the Bombay High Court was told by the CBFC that Ranaut had an interaction with them and has agreed with the cuts as suggested by the censor board’s revising committee.

A division bench of Justices BP Colabawalla and Firdosh Pooniwalla posted the matter for further hearing on Thursday.

According to reports, the CBFC had asked for 13 cuts in the film. In this movie, Kangana Ranaut will be seen in the lead role of former prime minister late Indira Gandhi.

It was not immediately clear if she had agreed to all the cuts suggested by the CBFC.

Directed and co-produced by Ranaut, the movie also has Anupam Kher, Shreyas Talpade, Vishak Nair, Mahima Chaudhry, and Milind Soman. It is based on the Emergency imposed in 1975 by the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.

It was to be released in theatres on September 6. But its release was delayed after complaints of historical inaccuracies and misrepresentation of the Sikh community.
