SCOOP: Sanjay Dutt-starrer Aakhri Sawal unlikely to release in cinemas on May 8 due to censor issues; makers eye May 15 release

Bollywood Hungama has exclusively learned that Aakhri Sawal, which was all set to release in cinemas on May 8, is unlikely to make it to theatres on the scheduled date due to censor certification issues. We were the first ones to report last week that even the trailer has not yet been cleared by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). The trailer, like the film, is still awaiting clearance from the Censor Board. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “The nature of the film and its plot is such that the CBFC members are being cautious.

Pathaan row: Madhya Pradesh speaker dares Shah Rukh Khan to watch the film with daughter Suhana Khan

Days after the Home Minister of Madhya Pradesh Narottam Mishra slammed the song ‘Besharam Rang’ from Pathaan for the allegedly vulgar outfits worn by Deepika Padukone, the assembly speaker of the same state Girish Gautam has echoed the same sentiments. He even went onto challenge the film’s lead actor Shah Rukh Khan to watch the film with his daughter Suhana Khan.

“I would like to tell this to Shah Rukh Khan that his daughter is now 23-24 years old. Go and watch the film with your daughter and post the picture on social media saying that I am watching this film with my daughter in which there is Deepika Padukone,” he said in a video while speaking to a group of reporters in his office.

Girish Govind also dared the makers to make a film on Prophet Mohammed while hinting at Deepika’s saffron-coloured bikini in the song. “I dare you to make a film on the Prophet in the name of freedom. There will be riots in the entire world,” he added.

Directed by Siddharth Anand and produced by Aditya Chopra’s banner Yash Raj Films, Pathaan has been facing outrage from the political class and ‘religious’ groups representing both Hinduism and Islam.

Pathaan is slated to release on January 25, 2023.
