Zee moves Bombay HC seeking CBFC nod for ‘Emergency’

Zee moves Bombay HC seeking CBFC nod for ‘Emergency’

Zee Entertainment Enterprises yesterday moved the Bombay High Court seeking a direction to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to issue a certificate for the film ‘Emergency’, helmed by Kangana Ranaut.

The court agreed to hear it on Wednesday. Zee Entertainment is the producer of the film, a PTI report from Mumbai stated.

Scheduled for release on September 6, the biographical drama is caught up in controversy after Sikh organisations including the Shiromani Akali Dal objected, accusing it of misrepresenting the community and getting historical facts wrong.

The petition before the high court claimed that the CBFC has “illegally and arbitrarily” withheld the certification.

As per a lawyer, the petition claimed that the Censor board was ready with the certificate, but not issuing it.

The plea was mentioned before a division bench of Justices B P Colabawalla and Firdosh Pooniwalla for urgent hearing. The bench agreed to hear it on Wednesday.

Ranaut, who has directed and co-produced the film besides playing the lead role of former Prime Minister late Indira Gandhi, on Monday accused the CBFC of stalling certification to delay the release.

She had earlier told Shubhankar Mishra on his podcast that “an emergency has been imposed on my film too”.

“It’s a very hopeless state. I’m quite disappointed in our country and whatever the circumstances are… How much will we keep getting scared?

“I’ve made this film with a lot of self-respect which is why the CBFC can’t point out any contention. They’ve stalled my certificate, but I’m determined to release an uncut version of the film. I’ll fight in court and release an uncut version,” she had said.
