Kangana Ranaut has opened up about the controversies surrounding her first solo directorial venture, Emergency. In a recent interview, the actor-turned-filmmaker admitted to several “wrong choices” made during the production of the film, including her decision to release it theatrically rather than opting for an OTT platform.

Kangana shared her regret about the delay in the film’s release, explaining that when the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) refused to certify the movie for months, she felt the decision to release it in theatres was a mistake. She further elaborated, saying, “I felt that I could have gotten a better deal on OTT. I also wouldn’t have had to go through censorship, and my film wouldn’t have been dissected. I didn’t know what all they (the CBFC) would remove and let us keep.”
