Kangana Ranaut is all set to release Emergency and has asked Maharashtra, Punjab, and Himachal Pradesh police to take action against people threatening her during the film's marketing. For those who are unaware, Harjinder Singh Dhami, head of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC), has urged that the film be banned because it incorrectly represents Sikhs.

He said that the film was created by Kangana Ranaut, who is now embroiled in controversy over her anti-Sikh and anti-Punjab statements, with the objective of character assassinating Sikhs, which the Sikh community would not accept.

Now, a video circulating on social media shows a Punjabi influencer threatening Kangana.

He's heard stating in the footage, "History cannot be changed. If they portray Sikhs as terrorists in the film, fir yaad rakhna jiska movie kar rahi hai uska kya scene hua tha. Remember who Satwant Singh and Beant Singh were. Jo hume ungli karte hai, vo ungli hi chatka dete hai hum... Agar hum sar katwa sakte hai toh sar kaat bhi sakte hai."

Another man in the video says, "Aap ye picture release karte ho toh sardaaron ne aapko chappal maarni hai. Laafa toh aapne kha liya. I'm a very proud Indian. If I spot you anywhere in my country and in my Maharashtra, I'm saying this, not just as a Sikh and a proud Marathi, but all my Hindu, Christian and Muslim brothers will also welcome you with chappals."

The video also shows former Bigg Boss contestant and controversial actor Ajaz Khan. Take a peek.
