Actress Kangana Ranaut, who will be next seen in the upcoming movie âEmergency', has reacted to the Central Board of Film Certification's (CBFC) mandate of removing certain portions from the film.
The actress spoke with IANS, and shared that as a director, she would have liked the film with the original narrative. However, she said that she accepts the decision of CBFC.
Kangana told IANS, "I would have liked that the full version would have come. But with the cuts, there is no issue, because it's not like the film was made to mock someone. It's not like that. It's fine. They completely removed some episodes of history. And the fact that it doesn't impact my film, in a way, it is a testimony of that, that it doesn't matter".
She further mentioned, "The story is very much intact. The message of the film is very much intact, which is patriotism. So I don't think it has affected the larger narrative. But if they had shot it, there must have been a reason for it".
