The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has asked director Hansal Mehta to change a dialogue in his much-talked about forthcoming movie Shahid.
The members of CBFC felt that the dialogue- Apne aap ko jihadiyon ka Gandhi samajhta hain? (Do you consider yourself the Gandhi of jehadis?) might hurt people’s sentiments. Therefore Gandhi has been replaced with Masiha, said a statement.
The trailer of the movie is running successfully online as it doesn’t come under censorship but it will only appear on television channels after the required changes are made.
“Yes, the information is correct. We have been told to make changes in the dialogue and it has been changed for the TV promo. We totally understand the censor board’s point of view,” Mehta said. (IANS)
