Kangana Ranaut Talks About Fighting a Battle Amid Emergency Controversy: ‘Every Woman Who Is…’ – News18

Kangana Ranaut is currently awaiting the release of her upcoming movie, Emergency. The film, which was supposed to hit theatres on September 6, was postponed because of pending certification from the censor board. Amid all this, Kangana took to her Instagram stories on Tuesday to mark the third anniversary of her movie Thalaivii – based on the life of Indian actress-politician J Jayalalithaa.

Kangana shared a picture of herself from Thalaivii and penned down a note which talked about women fighting their battles. “Every woman who is on her own has to fight a battle every day, she doesn’t get the luxury of being weak or even weep. She goes on without any appreciation or acknowledgement. Remembering Dr J Jayalalitha on the third Anniversary of Thalaivii,” she wrote. Check it out here:

Kangana Ranaut is not just playing the lead in Emergency but is also directing it. She will be seen portraying the role of former Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Emergency was supposed to hit theatres on September 6 was postponed since it is still awaiting certification from the censor board. Emergency has also been facing boycotts and ban calls. Several Sikh organisations have accused the film of presenting the community in the wrong light. The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) and the Akhal Takht have also demanded an immediate ban on the film, claiming it tries to “character assassinate” Sikhs by creating a narrative against them.

However, it was recently reported that the film has finally received UA certificate by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) with the condition of three edits and providing factual sources for some historical quotes. These included statements by US President Richard Nixon about Indian women and Winston Churchill’s comment on Indians “breeding like rabbits,” as reported by The Sunday Express.
