The highly anticipated film “Emergency,” set to premiere on September 6, 2024, is generating significant buzz. Directed by and starring Kangana Ranaut, the movie delves into the life of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
As the release date approaches, Kangana has faced a series of death threats, prompting her to request police protection in Maharashtra and Himachal Pradesh, where she serves as an MP. The controversy stems from objections by several Punjabi groups who argue that the film portrays Sikhs unfavorably. Prominent Sikh personalities have voiced their opposition to the movie.
Despite the backlash, Kangana is pushing forward with an aggressive promotional campaign. Her past remarks, which some believe cast the Sikh community in a negative light, have intensified the controversy. The Sikh community fears that “Emergency” might depict them as conspirators against Indira Gandhi, adding to the film’s contentious atmosphere.
With tensions running high, all eyes are on how this cinematic portrayal will unfold and the impact it might have on the film’s reception.
