PTC News Desk: Actor and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut has been served a notice from a district court in Chandigarh over her controversial film 'Emergency'. Advocate Ravinder Singh Bassi, former president of the District Bar Association, filed an application alleging that the actor tried to tarnish the image of Sikhs in her film.
The film not only shows a false image of the Sikh community, but it also has various false allegations against the community, according to the counsel, seeking to file a lawsuit against Ranaut.
The court will hear the case again on December 5.
Ranaut's directorial venture "Emergency" has sparked outrage as Sikh organisations, notably the Shiromani Akali Dal, accused it of misrepresenting the community and twisting historical facts.
She recently stated that she was compelled to sell her Mumbai property when the film's release date was postponed owing to a censor certificate delay. According to reports, the actor sold her property in Pali Hill, Bandra, for Rs 32 crore.
"I had staked my personal property on this movie, which was going to be released in theatres. Now it is not being released, thus the property is to be sold off in difficult times," said the actor.
