Kangana Ranaut Responds After Bombay High Court Denies Certification for Emergency: ‘I’ve Become Everyone’s Favorite Target
Kangana Ranaut’s film Emergency, originally scheduled for release this week, is facing a significant setback after the Bombay High Court declined to intervene in the certification process. This decision stems from a prior directive issued by the Madhya Pradesh High Court, which instructed the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to thoroughly assess the objections raised against the film before granting approval.
In response to the Bombay High Court’s ruling, Kangana Ranaut took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to express her thoughts: “Today I have become everyone’s favorite target. This is the price you pay for awakening this sleeping nation. They don’t understand my concerns because they want peace and don’t want to take sides.” She further stated, “High court has blasted censor for illegally withholding the certificate of #Emergency.”According to NDTV, the bench, comprised of Justices BP Colabawalla and Firdosh Pooniwalla, noted that any orders from them would conflict with the instructions from the Madhya Pradesh High Court. They remarked, “Judicial propriety prevents us from passing any orders today, as it would contradict the standing directive from another high court.” The judges stressed that directing the CBFC otherwise would violate existing legal protocols.
Nonetheless, the Bombay High Court did mandate the CBFC to carefully consider the objections and make a decision by September 18. The court acknowledged the complexity of the situation, stating, “We are aware that there are other factors at play. However, we shall refrain from making further comments.” The next hearing is scheduled for the day after the certification deadline, leaving the film’s release in doubt. This judicial stalemate follows a petition from Zee Studios, which is producing Emergency. The studio has urged the court to facilitate the film’s release, alleging that the CBFC has unduly delayed the certification process. They claim that the certification is ready but has not been formally issued, with legal representatives accusing the board of acting arbitrarily under potential external pressures. Complicating matters further, a separate legal petition was filed in the Madhya Pradesh High Court by certain religious organizations.
