Producers of upcoming Hindi film
Chapekar Brothers received a rude shock when Censor Board refused to certify
their movie. The Censor Board has raised issues during the screening of the
film over a scene in which one of the Chapekar Brothers had killed a Christian
Missionary forcing Hindus to convert into Christianity during the British Raj.
The filmmakers objected to this diktat by showing references of a Marathi film
’22 June 1897’ released in the year 1979 depicting the same scene.
Apart from this, the filmmakers also
showed some historic articles stating this incident as a fact. However, the
Censor Board has refused to co-operate and has firmly directed to delete these
scenes.
Chapekar Brothers was scheduled to
release on 2nd September 2016 and now due to the Censor Board
issues, the film release has been postponed to 16th September 2016.
Producer Ghanshyam Patel who’s extremely
disappointed said, “I am very upset with the turn of events. We had made a
patriotic film with lots of passion.”
Writer Dhiraj Mishra added, “We have
done thorough research on this subject and are confident about the mentioned
incident.”
The film features Abhijit Bhagat,
Sanjeet Dhuri and Manoj Bhatt as the Chapekar brothers, Indian revolutionaries
involved in the 1896 assassination of the British Plague Commissioner of Pune, W C Rand.
Veteran actor Govind Namdev is playing the role of freedom fighter Bal
Gangadhar Tilak in the film. The film is directed by Devendar Kumar Pandey and
produced by Ghanshyam Patel. The screenplay and dialogue is written by Dhiraj
Mishra.
