Actor-BJP MP Kangana Ranaut said on Thursday that the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has certified the movie Emergency, just weeks after it was forced to postpone its release.
"We have received the certificate for our movie Emergency", she wrote on her Instagram stories.
"We will soon be announcing the date of release. Thank you for your patience and support. @manikarnikafilms @zeestudiosofficial @nishantpitti," she added in her post.
The film, scheduled to hit theaters across the country on September 6, couldn't keep its date as it didn't get the censor board's clearance certificate which is quite important for the public exhibition of films in India.
Emergency, also written, directed, and co-produced by Ranaut, stars the actress in the role of former prime minister Indira Gandhi.
It was in a tussle with CBFC over the non-issuance of the certificate for its release, and was embroiled in controversy after accusations by Sikh organizations and the Shiromani Akali Dal that the film misrepresented them and got facts wrong.
Ranaut has accused the film body of stalling certification to delay the release.
Last month, the CBFC told the Bombay High Court on Monday that Ranaut had agreed to the cuts suggested by the board in the movie.
