The biographical political thriller delves into the life of Indira Gandhi, who imposed a 21-month emergency period from 1975 to 1977, when she was the prime minister.
Previously slated for a September 5 release, the film was later postponed due to its issues with the certification board. Moreover, since the release of the trailer, the film has undergone various controversies and issues as the Sikh organization (SGPC) objected to its release and accused the filmmakers of misrepresenting the community and twisting historical facts.

After months of stalling the film in the certification process and the intervention of the court, the CBFC suggested the makers trim certain portions of the film, saying that certain scenes depict a polarizing figure cutting a deal with political parties. After multiple legal obligations, the film is finally set to hit the theaters next year.
Co-produced by Zee Studios and Kangana’s Manikarnika Films, Emergency marks Kangana’s second directorial after the 2019 historical Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi, co-directed by Krish.
