Emergency’s release postponed after CBFC delays granting certificate amid calls for ban; sources say Board asking Kangana to drop Gandhi’s assassination
Indira Gandhi
Ever since Emergency’s trailer dropped online on August 14, there were growing objections and calls for ban on its release. Now, the Kangana Ranaut-directed biopic, which was slated to release on September 6, has been postponed. Reason? The makers have not received the go-ahead from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).
The political drama chronicles the life of the late Prime Minister of India, Indira Gandhi, with an emphasis on how she imposed the Emergency in 1975 and her assassination by her bodyguards. While it was heard that the movie was cleared by the CBFC on August 29, the body apparently had a change of heart after it received a legal notice from the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on August 30 seeking to prevent its release. The group claimed that the film may “incite communal tension”, alleging that its trailer depicted “erroneous historical facts that not only misrepresent the Sikh community, but also promote hatred and social discord.” Several Sikh groups too objected to the film.
