Little alarmed: Actor on 'Indu Sarkar' row
13 July 2017 11:50 PM IST
Actor Tota Roy Chaudhary, who stars in Madhur Bhandarkar's forthcoming film Indu Sarkar, says he is a "little alarmed" as a citizen in the wake of the recent censorship issues surrounding the movie.
He wonders how people can ask creative work to be shown for approval. "As a citizen of this country I am a little alarmed. How can people now ask us to show our creative work for approval? Is it right?" the actor wondered aloud when quizzed on his take over the reactions generated following the release of a three-minute trailer of the movie. The film Indu Sarkar, set against the backdrop of the Emergency, features Neil Nitin Mukesh, Kirti Kulhari and Tota and is set to release on July 28.
The censor board has recommended 12 cuts and two disclaimers. Bhandarkar has said the film tells the story about one stammering poet Indu who rebels against the system. Her husband has described as "absurd" the demands of the people "unnecessarily wanting to see the film, giving legal notices, somebody issuing a fatwa of one lakh rupees and is asking people to blacken my face."
