Swara Bhaskar's 'Anaarkali Of Aarah' Gets 11 Cuts By The CBFC!
The CBFC has ordered 11 cuts to Swara Bhaskar's upcoming film 'Anaarkali Of Aarah' which includes a dialogue mentioning Amitabh Bachchan & Amrish Puri.
The Censor Board has ordered 11 cuts to Swara Bhaskar's upcoming film Anaarkali Of Aarah including the removal of a dialogue which mentions names of megastar Amitabh Bachchan and Amrish Puri. Producer Sandiip Kapur was quoted as saying,
"There
are
11
cuts
mentioned
by
the
censor
board,
including
one
bold
scene.
They
have
told
us
to
remove
the
names
of
Amitabh
Bachchan
and
Amrish
Puri
(in
a
dialogue)
fearing
it
might
hurt
sentiments.
They
have
also
asked
to
remove
the
word
'Arjun',
which
comes
in
a
shayari.
They
think
it
will
hurt
religious
sentiments.
With
these
cuts,
it
will
be
difficult
for
the
audience
to
understand
the
context
in
which
the
dialogues
are
said."
When asked if he would go ahead and challenge the CBFC for these unwanted cuts, the producer quipped, "For an independent producer like me, it is difficult to fight with CBFC and release the film. The director and actors are against accepting the cuts. It is a bold and powerful film (but) the language is not abusive. I have seen big filmmakers facing trouble in releasing their films. What happened with Udta Punjab?. It is unfortunate and sad as it is killing the creativity."
After the cuts, the film is expected to get an 'A' certificate from the CBFC and the sad part is that the scenes which were to be deleted has been leaked online by unidentified miscrients. The film-makers have approached the Police and a case has been filed. "There are some 1,800 sites that need to be blocked and we have asked for it so it doesn't affect our film," says Sandiip.
