Emergency New Release date: The release of Kangana Ranaut’s solo directorial debut, Emergency, faced setbacks in September when the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) pulled back its approval. After several delays, the film has finally secured a new release date.
Kangana Announces New Release Date
On Monday, Kangana took to social media, revealing a fresh poster for Emergency. The poster showcases her as former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, alongside Vishak Nair portraying Sanjay Gandhi, Anupam Kher as Jai Prakash Narayan, Shreyas Talpade as Atal Bihari Vajpayee, and Milind Soman as Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw. Sharing the poster, she captioned, “17th January 2025 – The epic saga of the nation’s most powerful woman and the moment that altered India’s destiny. #Emergency – Unveils Only in cinemas on 17.01.2025!” This date is set just a week before Republic Day, even as Akshay Kumar‘s Sky Force is slated for a release during the same festive period.

Certification Issues and Controversy
Emergency has been mired in controversy, with objections from several Sikh groups and disputes over its depiction of the political period. The biographical drama focuses on Indira Gandhi and the 21-month Emergency she declared from 1975 to 1977. The backlash led the CBFC to revoke its initial certification, delaying the original September 5 release. Expressing her frustration to ANI, Kangana said, “I know how I made this film. I did not get any support from the film industry. It’s made on a huge budget. I, along with Zee and other partners, created Emergency, and now with the release delay, everyone is bearing a huge loss. Delay release is a loss for all. I think the Censor Board should take the responsibility to release this film at the earliest.”
Co-produced by Zee Studios and Manikarnika Films, this project marks Kangana’s second directorial venture after the 2019 historical drama Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi, which she co-directed with Krish.
