Kangana Ranaut reveals putting her Mumbai house at stake for Emergency; says, “Censor board has become a redundant body”

Actor Kangana Ranaut has been fighting for her upcoming movie Emergency ever since the Censor board has not cleared the movie. The movie was supposed to be released on September 6; however, the movie hasn’t got the certification yet. Now, during the interview with News 18, Kangana revealed that she had to put her personal property at stake for this film.

She said, “I had staked my personal property on this film, which was supposed to come in theatres. Now it is not releasing, so the property is there, to be sold off in difficult times.” For the unversed, the Manikarnika actor has sold her Pali Hill bungalow for Rs 32 crores recently.

Kangana Ranaut slams censor board

“Today, we’re at a stage with technology where the Censor board has become a redundant body. I raised this during the previous parliament session also. We need to rethink… I believe OTT platforms need to be censored the most,” the actor said.

“The kind of content is being shown on OTT or on YouTube, we are scared what a child might see there. You can’t even fathom. And if you pay money, then you can access any channel. It is a matter of great concern. We argue so much with the censor board – ‘Why have you shown this blood and all.’ We have been asked to make many cuts in our movie,” she added.

Directed by Kangana Ranaut, Emergency was supposed to be released in cinemas on September 6. But CBFC has not given a movie certification due to the sensitive subject. Moreover, the Sikh community have also expressed disappointment over the movie. It also stars Anupam Kher, Mahima Chaudhary, Milind Soman, Shreyas Talpade and more.
