About Emergency
Kangana played the role of Indira Gandhi in Emergency. The film focuses on the controversial Emergency period from 1975 to 1977. Kangana not only starred in the film but also directed it. The cast includes Anupam Kher, Shreyas Talpade, Vishak Nair, Milind Soman, and the late Satish Kaushik.
Controversies and Delays
Emergency faced multiple challenges, including release delays, censor issues, and protests from Sikh groups. In August last year, the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) sent a legal notice to the producers. The notice accused the film of misrepresenting Sikh history and demanded the removal of objectionable scenes portraying “anti-Sikh” sentiments.
Despite the controversies, Kangana moved forward with the film’s release. Now, fans who missed its theatrical run can stream it on Netflix from March 17.
