It seems like Kangana Ranaut’s challenges with regards to the release of her film Emergency are never ending. On Wednesday, the actress is facing new problems. Her film has been accused of ‘tarnishing’ the Sikh community. Emergency is set against the backdrop of the Emergency period in India that was imposed by the late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
In a new development, reported by NDTV, a district court in Chandigarh has ‘issued a notice’ to Kangana regarding Emergency. Former president of the District Bar Association and advocate Ravinder Singh Bassi has reportedly filed an application claiming Kangana has ‘tried to tarnish the image of Sikhs’ in Emergency. He has also claimed that the upcoming release features several ‘false allegations’ against the community and has urged to register a case against Kangana. The actress not only stars in the film but is also directing it.
The report added that the matter will be taken up for discussion on December 5.
The advocate’s plea comes just days after Shiromani Akali Dal accused Kangana and the film of misrepresenting the community and twisting historical facts.
The actress spoke about the film’s delay during News18 India’s Chaupal event. She said, “It is our history which has been intentionally hidden. We are not told about this. Bhale logo ka zamaana nahi hai,” Kangana said and then added, “My film is ready to be released. It has received certification from the censor board. 4 historians supervised our films. We have the proper documents. There is nothing wrong with my film. But some people call Bhindranwale a saint, revolutionary or a leader. They threatened via pleas (to ban her film). I have also received threats. Previous governments have declared Khalistanis as terrorists. He was not a saint who was sitting in a temple with an AK47.”
Emergency was slated to release on September 6.
