Actress Kangana Ranaut, who will next be seen in the upcoming film ‘Emergency’, has reacted to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) order to remove certain parts from the film.
The actress spoke to IANS and shared that as a director, she would love to do a film with an original narrative. However, she said that she accepts the CBFC’s decision.
Kangana told IANS, “I would have liked to have had a full version of this. But there is no problem with the cuts, because it is not that the film was made to make fun of anyone. It’s not like that. It’s okay. He completely removed some episodes of history. And the fact that it has no impact on my film is, in a way, proof that it doesn’t matter.”
He further added, “The story remains very intact. The message of the film remains largely intact, which is patriotism. So I don’t think it has affected the larger narrative. But if he shot it, there must have been a reason for it.
The film is set in the 1970s during the period of emergency imposed by late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. The film promises to present a gripping exploration of one of the most debated chapters of Indian democracy.
The film is written, directed and titled by Kangana Ranaut, and is her second directorial debut after ‘Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi’.
The film features a powerhouse cast including Anupam Kher, Mahima Chaudhary, Milind Soman, Shreyas Talpade, Vishak Nair and the late Satish Kaushik. Each actor plays a vital role in bringing the subtle political and personal dynamics of the era to the screen.
Produced by Zee Studios, Manikarnika Films and Renu Pitti, the music of ‘Emergency’ is composed by Sanchit Balhara and GV Prakash Kumar, while the dialogues and screenplay are by Ritesh Shah. This film is going to be released on January 17.
