It revolves around Mumbai police's first official encounter, in which gangster Manya Surve was shot down.Īpparently Gupta was aware of the hardhitting content and the trouble it may cause with the censors. My actors are busy re-dubbing the dialogues that the CBFC wanted changed," said Gupta.Īn adaptation of Hussain Zaidi's "Dongri to Dubai", the film is about a real incident. We expected an 'A' certificate and got that. "I think the censor board has been reasonable with my film. Director Sanjay Gupta is not complaining. However, the censor board has asked that some of the dialogues spoken by John Abraham, Manoj Bajpayee and Tusshar Kapoor be cleaned up. The Censor Board Of Film Certification (CBFC) has cleared crime thriller Shootout At Wadala with an A-certificate, with no visual cuts. As for Indo-Canadian porn star Sunny Leone's controversial and hugely popular item song Laila Teri Le Legi, the board has asked Gupta to change Le Legi to Loot Legi in certain portions.Also, since no historical or political figure is allowed to be mentioned, the CBFC has asked Gupta to remove a reference to Subhas Chandra Bose made by Manoj. In another sequence, Tusshar Kapoor exchanges girl talk with his pal and there's a reference to the Taj Mahal and Shah Jehan, which the CBFC has asked to be removed.The CBFC has ordered that the reference to the mother be removed. The censor's axe also fell on a sequence where a cop tells John that it is not his fault that John has turned out the way he has but his mother's fault.
