Actor-filmmaker Kangana Ranaut on Friday said she has received requests from the censor board for cuts in her directorial ‘Emergency’ but the suggestions "seem quite unreasonable" and her team is ready to stand its ground.

In a statement following reports in a section of the media that the Central Board for Film Certification (CBFC) has asked for 13 cuts in the film, Ranaut said the team is “resolute in maintaining the film's authenticity”.

The actor and BJP MP has directed, co-produced and acted in the film, playing the lead role of late Indira Gandhi. She has earlier accused the censor board of stalling certification to delay the release of the film. It was earlier supposed to release on September 6.

Several media reports said the censor board's revising committee ordered 13 cuts to the film and issued it a U/A certificate. These reportedly include adding a disclaimer, deleting some dialogues and scenes and providing facts to back historical references in the film.

"We've received requests for cuts, but while feedback is always welcome, some of the suggestions seem quite unreasonable...On the brighter side, most historians and members of the review committee who've seen it have praised it as the most faithful depiction of a leader,” Ranaut said.

"They've especially appreciated our unwavering commitment to the truth, without compromising even the smallest detail. Their endorsement is encouraging, affirming that we've honoured the story as it deserves. Nevertheless, we are ready to stand our ground and protect the film's integrity, ensuring its essence remains intact," she added.
