It’s worth noting that Kangana Ranaut’s upcoming film ‘Emergency’ has been facing opposition for quite some time. Members of the Sikh community claim that the film is propaganda, alleging that it portrays historical events inaccurately and disrespectfully towards martyrs. They also believe that the character of Sikh leader Sant Jarnail Singh Khalsa Bhindranwale is shown in a negative light. Because of these reasons, there have been continuous demands for the film to be banned.
