Kangana Ranaut’s solo maiden directorial debut Emergency seems to wait a bit longer to hit the theatres. The movie has been shelved twice; it was previously scheduled to release on 6th September. The actress-director who will be directing as well as portraying the role of late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi expressed her disappointment with the constant setbacks on the release of the movie.
She revealed her movies have already been documented in movies like Madhur Bhandarkar’s 2017 political thriller Indu Sarkar based on the period of imposition of 1975 Emergency) and Meghna Gulzar’s Sam Bahadur which is based on 1971 India-Pakistan War) last year. Despite getting a green light from the CBFC the certificate was revoked due multiple petitions. Let’s check out Kangana’s statement about the delay of the movie.
Kangana exclaimed her film is now imposed under the Emergency
Kangana expressed her disappointment in the current circumstances, noting, “Meri film pe hi Emergency lag gayi hai. Bahut hi nirashajanak ye sthiti hai. Main toh khair bahut hi zyada disappointed hu apne desh se, aur jo bhi haalaat hain (An Emergency has been imposed on my film too. It’s a very hopeless state. I’m quite disappointed by our country and whatever the circumstances are).”
However, the ‘Manikarnika’ star has now revealed that she’s ready to fight for the release of her film, no matter how long it takes.
The 38-year-old shared, “We’ll keep telling those ridiculous stories otherwise. We’ll get scared by someone today, someone else tomorrow. People will keep scaring us because we get scared so easily. How much will we keep getting scared? I’ve made this film with a lot of self-respect which is why the CBFC can’t point out any contention.”
Kangana is now determined to make her film hit the theatres, as she shared, “They’ve stalled my certificate, but I’m determined to release an uncut version of the film. I’ll fight in court and release an uncut version. I can’t show all of a sudden that Indira Gandhi died on her own at her home. I can’t show it like that.”
The film which is based on the life of late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and her most contradictory decision of the imposition of national emergency in 1975 has been subjected to immense controversies since its announcement.
Only time will tell when the film’s tough time will end.
