Actress-filmmaker Kangana Ranaut expressed her resentment over the delay in getting a censor certificate for her upcoming film Emergency. She declared that she will get the film released anyhow even if that requires going to court. Talking to IANS, Kangana said, "Hopefully. My film got cleared from the censor. And the day we were about to get the certificate, a lot of people did a lot of drama.
She afterwards said, "The censor board has become very hesitant, whereas there are a lot of issues with the censor, too. So, I hope it gets released." "Because suddenly, as they say, the carpet is pulled from someone's feet. I was very confident that I got the certification. But now they are not giving me my certificate."
She says, "And it's getting too late. I hope the film comes on time. Otherwise, I am determined to fight for it. I am determined to even go to court to protect my film. To save my right as an individual. You can't change history and scare us by threats.
She further pressed on the need to depict historical events as they are, especially with regard to the subject matter of the film: "We have to show the history. An almost 70-year-old woman was shot 30-35 times in her house. Somebody must have killed her. Now you want to show it… Because apparently, you think you can hurt somebody. But you have to show the history. So, how did she die?
Kangana concluded by defending artistic freedom and creative expression: "If they are going to suppress the voice of an artiste and my creative liberty… Some people have wielded their guns and we are not afraid of guns.
