Kangana Ranaut has opened up about several scenes from her highly anticipated film ‘Emergency’ that were cut due to objections from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).
The film, which is set to release later this month, faced scrutiny from the CBFC over specific scenes that portrayed sensitive historical events.
In an interview with Mid-Day, Ranaut expressed her perspective on the matter, saying, “I would have preferred if the complete version had been released. However, the cuts don’t pose a problem because the intention behind the film was never to mock anyone. Some episodes of history were removed entirely, but it hasn’t affected the core of the film.”
She emphasised that the narrative and message of the movie remain unchanged, stating, “The story and its message, centered on patriotism, are still intact. The cuts don’t compromise the larger narrative. If certain scenes were filmed, they must have served a purpose, but their omission hasn’t impacted the overall essence of the film.”
Set during the turbulent ‘Emergency’ period in the 1970s, imposed by the late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, ‘Emergency’ promises a gripping exploration of one of the most controversial chapters in Indian democracy.
