Speaking about the delay in the release of the movie 'Emergency', Kangana told News18:“It is our history which has been intentionally hidden. We are not told about this. Bhale logo ka zamaana nahi hai.”
“My film is ready to be released. It has received certification from the censor board. 4 historians supervised our films. We have the proper documents. There is nothing wrong with my film. But some people call Bhindranwale a saint, revolutionary or a leader. They threatened via pleas (to ban her film). I have also received threats. Previous governments have declared Khalistanis as terrorists. He was not a saint who was sitting in a temple with an AK47,” she added.
