Kangana agreed for cuts in Emergency
Kangana had recently agreed to add some cuts suggested by the censor board. During a hearing at Bombay High Court, for a petition by Zee Studios, the co-producers of Emergency, the CBFC told that Kangana had agreed to the suggestions of the board’s revising committee. The plea was filed after the film got in the middle of a stir with some people calling for a ban of the project over misrepresentation of the Sikh community.
