Emergency: Kangana Ranaut, CBFC Reach An 'Agreement' On Suggested Cuts, Release Still In Limbo

Emergency Release Date: The film featuring and directed by Kangana Ranaut ran into legal trouble when CBFC stalled its release on September 6. The censor board alleged that the movie had the potential to hurt religious sentiments which led the makers to appeal to the High Court. The court directed CBFC to issue directives and make a decision on the film's release. As a result, the certification body suggested 13 modifications including cuts, adding a disclaimer and some other fact checks. In its latest hearing, the CBFC has shared with the Bombay High Court that the Emergency makers have agreed to all its suggestions.
