On September 17, Prime Minister Narendra Modi celebrates his 74th birthday, an occasion marked by congratulatory messages from a broad spectrum of public figures, including politicians, government officials, and numerous Bollywood celebrities. Among these well-wishers is actress and politician Kangana Ranaut, who has taken to Instagram to extend her heartfelt birthday greetings to the Prime Minister, referring to him as the 'Greatest Leader.'
Kangana's Evolving Career
Since her breakthrough role in the critically acclaimed film Gangster, Kangana Ranaut has significantly expanded her professional horizons. Today, she is not only a prominent actress but also a producer, director, and political figure. Her career trajectory reflects a versatile and ambitious approach to her work, underscoring her commitment to both the cinematic and political arenas.
Controversy Surrounding Her Latest Film
Amidst the celebrations for PM Modi, Kangana is also contending with substantial challenges related to her film Emergency. The movie, which was initially scheduled for release on September 6, 2024, has encountered considerable obstacles. The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has mandated cuts to certain scenes, and multiple FIRs have been lodged seeking a ban on the film. Critics argue that the trailer of Emergency inaccurately portrays historical events, allegedly misrepresenting the Sikh community and potentially inciting social discord.
Kangana, however, defends the film's accuracy and stands ready to confront the controversies. She believes that the film provides a truthful depiction of historical events and is prepared to address any critiques that emerge.
Financial Ramifications
The ongoing delay in the film's release has not only stalled its progress but has also imposed significant financial strain on Kangana and her team. The postponement, coupled with the required scene deletions, has led to financial losses, leaving Kangana disheartened by the situation. Despite these setbacks, she remains resolute in her commitment to her work and her support for Prime Minister Modi.
