Kangana Ranaut's directorial debut 'Emergency' is still awaiting a release date after its initial release was stalled due to censorship troubles. In an interview with News18, the actor-filmmaker claims neither the film industry nor the opposition is supporting her film as they did with past films of actors like Deepika Padukone and Alia Bhatt that faced similar censorship issues.
“It's happened in the past too. There have been films like 'Padmaavat' and 'Udta Punjab' which were released quite smoothly. There were threats to chop off someone's nose, someone's neck, but the government protected them and they were released. But when it came to my film's release, no one… especially no one from the Congress party supported me, not even the film industry did. I definitely feel like I'm on my own. When I see these kinds of feelings, this narrow-minded thinking, what kind of hope from people would I be left with?” Kangana said.
“The film industry is celebrating that my self-financed film didn't release. I am in the loneliest corner of the world,” she added. Kangana's political thriller 'Emergency', in which she plays former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, was scheduled to release on September 6, but its certification was withdrawn in the same week after objections from a Sikh group, who claimed that they aren't being depicted in a fair light in her film.
