The film, which had faced a delay in securing the censor board’s approval, now has the green light with a U/A certificate, albeit with a few minor cuts. The final runtime stands at 146 minutes and 17 seconds.
Kangana Ranaut’s ‘Emergency’ boasts an ensemble cast including Anupam Kher, Mahima Chaudhary, Milind Soman, Shreyas Talpade, Vishak Nair, and the late Satish Kaushik. The film’s script is penned by Ritesh Shah, with music composed by Sanchit Balhara and G.V. Prakash Kumar. Produced by Zee Studios and Manikarnika Films, the project showcases Ranaut’s multifaceted talents, as she not only stars in but also co-produces the film.
The principal photography for ‘Emergency’ began in July 2022 and wrapped up in January 2023. Originally slated for release on September 6, 2024, the film was postponed due to delays in obtaining the necessary certification. Now that it has secured the CBFC’s approval, the team is gearing up for the official release, which is expected to be announced soon.
