Emergency was embroiled in a major controversy after Sikh organisations alleged that the movie contained scenes that would portray their community in a bad light. This was followed by court cases for some time. The CBFC later laid down several conditions and suggested a couple of changes to the film. Apart from Kangana Ranaut, Emergency also features Anupam Kher, Manisha Koirala, Mahima Chaudhry, Satish Kaushik, Shreyas Talpade and Milind Soman in pivotal roles. ‘Emergency’: Makers of Kangana Ranaut-Starrer Agree to Cuts Suggested by CBFC; Bombay HC Closes Case.
