Shootout At Wadala gets an ‘A’ certificate,Sunny Leone’s Laila is intact
Some dialogues spoken by John Abraham,Manoj Bajpayee and Tusshar Kapoor have been asked to be cleaned up.
Director Sanjay Gupta’s soon-to-release Shootout At Wadala has bee given an ‘A’ certificate by the Censor board Of Film Certification (CBFC) with no visual cuts.
However,some dialogues spoken by John Abraham,Manoj Bajpayee and Tusshar Kapoor have been asked to be cleaned up.
“Though Sanjay Gupta managed to convince the members of the Censor Board to not tamper with the visuals including the substantial violence,when it came to some of the dialogues the Censor Board was unrelenting and insisted that the words be changed,” said a source.
Apparently,Sanjay Gupta was aware of the hard hitting content and the trouble it may cause with the censors.
According to sources,the filmmaker voluntarily removed a whole sequence where debutant Siddhant Kapoor discussed the genesis and relevance of the Hindi expletive ‘bhen***d’ with his pals.
The censors axe also fell on a sequence where a cop tells John’s character that it is not his fault that John has turned out the way he has but his mother’s fault. The CBFC has ordered that the reference to the mother be removed. In another sequence,Tusshar Kapoor exchanges girl talk with his pal and there’s a reference to the Taj Mahal and Shah Jahan which the CBFC has asked to be removed. Also,since no historical or political figure is allowed to be mentioned,the CBFC has asked the director to remove a reference made to Subhash Chandra Bose by Manoj Bajpayee.”
As for Sunny Leone’s controversial and hugely popular item song Laila Teri Le Legi,the censor board asked sanjay Gupta to change Le legi to Loot Legi in certain portions.
“The CBFC has allowed the words Le Legi to remain partially. But they requested Sanjay Gupta to reduce the number of times the phrase was used. So instead of Le Legi all through audiences will hear Sunny gyrate to Laila Loot Legi halfway through the song.”
