What's the story

Kangana Ranaut's much-awaited biographical drama, Emergency, has encountered a delay in its release. On Monday, the actor shared that the film—originally slated for a November 24 release—has been postponed to 2024. The decision to push back the release was attributed to Ranaut's jam-packed schedule in the final quarter of 2023. The Manikarnika star assured her fans that a new release date would be announced soon.

Context

Why does this story matter?

The year 2023 has undeniably been a productive one for Ranaut, with her latest project being Chandramukhi 2. Ranaut's next directorial venture, Emergency was initially slated for October 20 release. However, it was postponed until November due to Tiger Shroff's Ganapath's simultaneous release. Now, it appears that fans will have to wait until 2024 to witness this historical drama grace the big screens.

Reason

Here's why 'Emergency' faced postponement

In her social media post, Ranaut highlighted the importance of Emergency in her career, calling it "the culmination of my entire life's learnings and earnings as an artist." She stated, "We have announced Emergency's release date as 24th November 2023 but because of all the changes in my back-to-back releasing films calendar and over packed last quarter of 2024 we have decided to shift Emergency to next year."
