After bringing to the screen stories of national and human interest, including the National Award-winning `Uri: The Surgical Strike`, `Sonchirya`, `The Sky is Pink`, `Rashmi Rocket` and `A Thursday`, RSVP Movies is waiting to showcase one more true-life drama. A biopic of a prominent human rights activist, Jaswant Singh Khalra, is produced by Ronnie Screwvala, Abhishek Chaubey and Honey Trehan. Directed by Trehan, and toplined by actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh, the yet-untitled film which is complete and ready for release, has hit an unexpected roadblock.
“The makers have been waiting for censor clearance for the last six months,” informs a source from the industry. “RSVP applied for the censor certificate in December 2022, and it was sent ahead to the review committee. The team shared all the necessary paperwork that was requested and went about the process with complete diligence, but with no solution forthcoming from the CBFC, they finally moved the Bombay High Court on Wednesday (June 14).”
