Kangana Ranaut Seeks Protection Amid 'Emergency' Controversy

Kangana Ranaut's upcoming film 'Emergency', set to release on September 6, 2024, has sparked significant controversy, leading to protests and death threats. The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) and Akal Takht have called for a ban, alleging the film misrepresents Sikh history and character assassinates Sikhs. Legal notices have been issued to retract the film's trailer and apologize to the Sikh community. In response to threats received on social media, Kangana has sought police protection. The film, which depicts Ranaut as former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, has also faced backlash for her previous comments on farmers' protests. Despite the turmoil, Ranaut continues to criticize Bollywood, labeling the industry as 'hopeless' and accusing it of boycotting talented individuals.
