Decide on Kangana Ranaut’s ‘Emergency’ release in a week – India TV

In the latest development in Kangana Ranaut’s Emergency’s certification case, Bombay High Court on Thursday has asked the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to take a decision on giving a certificate to the film as soon as possible. The next hearing on this matter will be held on September 25. Kangana’s film has been in the headlines ever since the trailer was unveiled earlier this year. In the film, the actress is portraying former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.

Earlier, a few days ahead of the film’s release, the makers appealed in the Bombay High Court demanding a certification for their film. In its verdict, the high court said that it cannot direct the Censor Board to award the certificate since it would contradict the Madhya Pradesh High Court judgment. The MP court instructed the CBFC to hear the representations of Sikh groups that had filed petitions before it.
