11 cuts sought in ANARKALI OF AARAH |
The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has asked the makers of Swara Bhaskar-starrer `Anaarkali of Aarah` for 11 cuts, including the removal of a dialogue which mentions names of megastar Amitabh Bachchan and late Amrish Puri.They have also asked to remove the word `Arjun`, which comes in a shayari (poetry). They think it will hurt religious sentiments. With these cuts it will be difficult for audience to understand the context in which the dialogues are said, producer Sandip said. However, he finds it difficult to fight against proposed cuts but the director and actors are against accepting the cuts. It is a bold and powerful film (but) the language is not abusive. Meanwhile,Sandiip filed a complaint at a police station in Delhi after certain scenes, which the CBFC wanted to be removed from the film, were leaked online. The movie revolves around a singer (Swara Bhaskar) from Arrah in Bihar. Sandiip said Swara is the right choice for the role of Anaarkali. She has played the role wonderfully. It doesn`t look sleazy. The movie is directed by debutant Avinash Das, a journalist-turned-filmmaker.The film is sceduled for March 24 release.
