No Relief Yet For Kangana Ranaut’s ‘Emergency’, She Claims Court Win.
The Bombay High Court said it cannot ask the Central Board of Film Certification to issue a certificate to the film's makers as it would contradict a Madhya Pradesh High Court order.
Kangana Ranaut’s movie ‘Emergency’, at the center of a massive row after Sikh organizations opposed its release, got no relief from the Bombay High Court today. The court said it cannot ask the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to issue a certificate to the film’s makers as it would contradict a Madhya Pradesh High Court order.
Despite the setback, actor and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut claimed a win in court. “High court has blasted censor for illegally withholding the certificate of #emergency,” she said in a post on X.
The movie is co-produced by Ms Ranaut’s Manikarnika Films and Zee Studios. With the film earlier scheduled for a release on September 6, Zee Entertainment Enterprises approached the Bombay High Court, seeking a direction from to Censor Board to issue the certificate that would clear the decks for the film’s release. The setback in the Bombay High Court means that the movie is unlikely to be released anytime soon.
