After going through the most stringent process of filmmaking, the censor board approval, Anurag Kashyap has come out with an ‘A’ certificate yet again. But this did not come as any surprise to Kashyap, as the film was initially rejected by the Censor Board for its objectionable contents, after which the film went to the revising comitee who then passed the film with an A certificate and four cuts in the original print.
The cuts include references that were made to Mahatma Gandhi and the national song ‘Jana Gana Mana’. However Kashyap doesn’t have any issues with this censors saying they have asked for the cuts as per the guidelines and the producers too have agreed to it.
Says he “In a scene, a mad man says ‘Gandhiji’ when he sees a man with round frames, the word Gandhiji has been deleted. Then there was a scene about our national song, ‘Jana gana mana’, which was also chopped.”
Apart from that there are minor cuts like a cigarette brand is visible, to which the board had some objection to. Also there is the upcoming elections that are in the air, and so they are trying to avoid any situation that could trigger off some wrong feelings. The Censor board was also insistent that no specific party get any political mileage from the movie.
