The Bombay High Court is hearing an urgent petition on Wednesday (September 4, 2024) seeking the release of Kangana Ranuat’s film ‘Emergency’.
Zee Entertainment Enterprises on Tuesday (September 3) moved the Bombay High Court seeking a direction to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to issue the certificate for the film “Emergency”.
The petition filed claims that CBFC has arbitrarily and illegally withheld the censor certificate of the film. Zee Studios who are the co-makers of the film has claimed that despite being informed of the film’s certification on August 29, 2024, CBFC is yet to provide a formal copy of the certification.
The petition will be heard by a Division Bench of judges, Justice B.P. Colabawalla and Justice Firdosh Pooniwalla. The film is scheduled for release on September 6.

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.
Meanwhile, actor-turned-politician Kangana 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.
