Issues with certification

Emergency has been involved in disputes for a while, including receiving criticism from multiple Sikh organizations. The Central Board of Film Certification was forced to withdraw its certification for the film due to the objections raised, causing a delay in its initial release. During that period, Ranaut had criticized the CBFC for delaying certification, describing it as “extremely disheartening”.

Kangana’s Disappointment

Kangana had conveyed her dissatisfaction, stating, “I am aware of how this film was created.” I received no assistance from the movie business. It was produced with a substantial budget. Zee, the partners, and I formed Emergency, but due to the delay in its release, all of us are facing a significant financial loss. Delaying the release results in a disadvantage for everyone involved. I believe it is the duty of the Censor Board to ensure the prompt release of this film”.
