MUMBAI: In recent developments, Kangana Ranaut's film ‘Emergency’ has faced an unexpected delay in its release due to issues with censor certificate clearance from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). The film, which is being directed and produced by Kangana while also starring her in the lead role as Indira Gandhi. However, this abrupt delay has sparked an uproar on social media, with netizens misdirecting their frustrations toward filmmaker Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri as he was once an authorised person at CBFC.
According to sources, Agnihotri was associated with the CBFC as a board member many years ago. However, it is important to set the record straight, as Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri has no current association with the CBFC, after having left the board 4 years ago. He has not held any position of authority within the organization for a considerable time. Despite this, some social media users have incorrectly assumed that Agnihotri has a role in the certification process of ‘Emergency’, leading to unwarranted and inappropriate attacks against him.
It is also worth noting that Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri has always been supportive of Kangana Ranaut's Emergency. In fact, he was among the first to praise the film in a tweet long before the film’s release date announcement. His admiration for the project dates back to over a year ago when he publicly complimented the film’s concept and Ranaut’s vision as both the director and the lead actress portraying Indira Gandhi.
@KanganaTeam has made a brilliant film on this theme.
