Zee Entertainment Enterprises, a co-producer of Kangana Ranaut's "Emergency" film, informed the Bombay High Court on Thursday that they are in the process of resolving issues with the Censor Board regarding the issuance of a certificate for the movie.
The film, originally scheduled for a September 6 release, has been caught in a dispute with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), also known as the censor board, due to the non-issuance of a certificate for its release.
Last week, the CBFC informed the high court that the movie could be released if certain edits were made as per the decisions of the board's revising committee.
On Thursday, senior counsel Sharan Jagtiani informed a division bench of Justices B P Colabawalla and Firdosh Pooniwalla that the issues are currently being addressed.
"I believe it is working out between the CBFC and respondent 2 (Ranaut's Manikarnika Films, co-producer)," Jagtiani said.
The bench posted the matter for hearing on Friday.
Earlier this week, the bench was informed by the censor board that Ranaut's production company Manikarnika had agreed to the cuts.
The movie's co-producer Zee Entertainment Enterprises had moved HC seeking a direction to the CBFC to issue a certificate for the film "Emergency", helmed by Kangana Ranaut.
The biographical drama is caught up in controversy after Sikh organisations, including the Shiromani Akali Dal, objected, accusing it of misrepresenting the community and getting historical facts wrong.
