Offensive scenes will be removed.Mere apologies are inadequate. The Central Board of Film Certification and the producers who allowed the film to air should be punished!… pic.twitter.com/gBmaK8y8oP

Apologising is not enough. The Censor Board which gave permission to release this movie and producers of the film should be penalised. Only then, hurting the sentiments of Hindus every now and then will be inhibited ! |
