Kangana Ranaut’s ‘Emergency‘ has been in the news for the delay in its release due to issue in its certification. The actress has been getting death threats from the Sikh community who have demanded that some portions of her film ‘Emergency’ should be cut. Kangana took to social media and dropped a video, sharing that they’ve demanded some parts like Indira Gandhi’s assassination, Punjab riots amidst few other things.
Thus, the CBFC (Central Board Of Film Certification) has not yet certified the movie and the actress continues to fight for her stand. Amidst this controversy, ‘The Kashmir Files’ director Vivek Agnihotri has spoken against censorship in content. The film-maker took to X (formerly Twitter) and wrote, “CENSORSHIP: No creative expression should ever be censored—that’s my personal view. But if you still insist on censorship, why not start with TV debates, news programs, political speeches, and religious sermons? These are often the real sources of fake news, division, hate, and violence.”
He further expressed, “If you feel it maligns you or hurts your sentiments, then you should develop some spine to take that criticism. If it doesn’t present your side, create something that presents your case. After all, cowards only censor what exposes their ugly face.”
It seems like Agnihotri has indirectly come out in support of Kangana as the actress also shared his views on social media.
