The
Censor
Board
Of
Film
Certification
(CBFC)
has
cleared
crime
thriller
Shootout
At
Wadala
(
SAW)
with
an
A-certificate,
with
no
visual
cuts.
However,
the
censor
board
has
asked
that
some
of
the
dialogues
spoken
by
John
Abraham,
Manoj
Bajpayee
and
Tusshar
Kapoor
be
cleaned
up.
Director
Sanjay
Gupta
is
not
complaining.
"I
think
the
censor
board
has
been
reasonable
with
my
film.
We
expected
an
'A'
certificate
and
got
that.
Yeah,
they
did
object
to
some
dialogues.
My
actors
are
busy
re-dubbing
the
dialogues
that
the
CBFC
wanted
changed," said
Gupta.
An
adaptation
of
Hussain
Zaidi's
Dongri
to
Dubai,
the
film
is
about
a
real
incident.
It
revolves
around
Mumbai
police's
first
official
encounter,
in
which
gangster
Manya
Surve
was
shot
down.
Apparently
Gupta
was
aware
of
the
hardhitting
content
and
the
trouble
it
may
cause
with
the
censors.
According
to
sources,
the
filmmaker
voluntarily
removed
a
whole
sequence
where
debutant
Siddharth
Kapoor
discussed
the
genesis
and
relevance
of
an
Hindi
expletive
with
his
pals.
The
censor's
axe
also
fell
on
a
sequence
where
a
cop
tells
John
that
it
is
not
his
fault
that
John
has
turned
out
the
way
he
has
but
his
mother's
fault.
The
CBFC
has
ordered
that
the
reference
to
the
mother
be
removed.
In
another
sequence,
Tusshar
Kapoor
exchanges
girl
talk
with
his
pal
and
there's
a
reference
to
the
Taj
Mahal
and
Shah
Jehan,
which
the
CBFC
has
asked
to
be
removed.
Also,
since
no
historical
or
political
figure
is
allowed
to
be
mentioned,
the
CBFC
has
asked
Gupta
to
remove
a
reference
to
Subhas
Chandra
Bose
made
by
Manoj.
As
for
Indo-Canadian
porn
star
Sunny
Leone's
controversial
and
hugely
popular
item
song
'Laila
teri
le
legi',
the
board
has
asked
Gupta
to
change
'Le
legi'
to
'Loot
legi'
in
certain
portions.
The
film
releases
on
May
3.
