Kangana Ranaut RESPONDS To Censor Board's Editing Scenes in Her Film Emergency: 'It doesn’t matter'

Kangana Ranaut, who will be next seen in the upcoming movie ‘Emergency’, has reacted to the Central Board of Film Certification’s (CBFC) mandate of removing certain portions from the film. In a conversation with IANS, the actress shared that as a director, she would have liked the film with the original narrative but accepted the decision of CBFC.

I would have liked that the full version would have come. But with the cuts, there is no issue, because it’s not like the film was made to mock someone. It’s not like that. It’s fine. They completely removed some episodes of history. And the fact that it doesn’t impact my film, in a way, it is a testimony of that, that it doesn’t matter

- Kangana

She further mentioned, “The story is very much intact. The message of the film is very much intact, which is patriotism. So I don’t think it has affected the larger narrative. But if they had shot it, there must have been a reason for it".

Centered around the era of the 1970s Emergency declared by the late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, the movie vows to deliver a captivating delve into one of the most talked-about segments in Indian democracy. The film's second trailer drop was recent, and it packed quite a punch. Alongside her acting role, Kangana has taken on the directorial duties for the movie. The star-studded cast includes Anupam Kher, the late Satish Kaushik, Shreyas Talpade, Milind Soman, and Mahima Choudhry.

Kangana Ranaut also paid a visit to the Maa Pitambara temple in the Datia region of Madhya Pradesh before her upcoming film Emergency. She shared highlights of her visit on Instagram Stories, where she was joined by MLA Umesh Kumar during the spiritual excursion on January 4.
