Emergency's new release date
Initially postponed due to Ranaut's involvement in the upcoming Lok Sabha 2024 elections, the film has generated significant buzz.

The poster's caption read: "The Beginning of the 50th Year of Independent India’s Darkest Chapter. Announcing #KanganaRanaut’s #Emergency In Cinemas on September 6, 2024.
