Approval not yet received
Kangana Ranaut’s upcoming film Emergency is going to release in theatres on 6 September. Amidst the demand for banning Emergency, Kangana Ranaut has claimed that the film has not yet received approval from CBFC. The story of the film is based on the Emergency of 1975.
Sikh community angry
The petition mentions the fact that the Sikh community across the country has become angry even before the release of the film Emergency, as there is a possibility of the Sikh community being portrayed in a wrong manner in the film, hence a demand has been made to stop the release of this film.
