New Delhi: Bollywood actor and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut, four days ahead of the scheduled premiere of Emergency, has levelled allegations against the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) for stalling its certificate to delay the release. Ranaut, who plays the role of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in the movie, said she will go to court if she doesn't get a clearance on the uncut version.
"An emergency has been imposed on my film too. It's a very hopeless state. I'm quite disappointed in our country and whatever the circumstances are... 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. 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," she said on a podcast.
According to a source, the film isn't releasing on Friday because the makers are yet to receive the certification from the CBFC. "Even though they (CBFC) have put a U/A certificate on their website, the makers haven't received a copy of the certificate yet. Every day there's a new cut being given to the film, which they are doing due to some pressure. Kangana is fighting for the sanctity of the film," the source told a news agency.
