'Religious sentiments can't be hurt': Government sources

The filmmakers had initially set the release date for September 6 without getting clearance from the board.

Religious sentiments cannot be hurt, government sources told India Today while explaining why the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has postponed the release of Kangana Ranaut's upcoming biographical political drama "Emergency."

The filmmakers had initially set the release date for September 6 without getting clearance from the board.

"Few religious organisations have raised concerns about this. Religious sentiments cannot be hurt. There is some sensitive content in the movie," the sources stated.

"The government is taking it seriously," they added.
