Producers Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar can breathe a sigh of relief. Their satire on cross-border terrorism Bangistan directed by film critic Karan Anshuman which opens on July 31 has been cleared by the censor board with some verbal cuts.
A source close to the project reveals that the chairperson of the censor board Pahlaj Nihalani praised the film for its novel content and treatment.
"The film was given a UA certificate with 6 verbal cuts. The words that had to go were 'ghanta' (used as an abuse, so we hope it doesn't ring a bell), 'Qafir', 'minority', 'Dalaal', Saala' and 'Saali'. No visuals were cut," says the source.
