Randeep Hooda essays the titular role in Swatantrya Veer Savarkar
Actor Randeep Hooda is currently gearing up for the release of the biographical drama `Swatantrya Veer Savarkar`, where he essays the titular role. However, it seems like the CBFC doesn’t have very good news for Randeep Hooda’s film. It has been learned that the movie`s team was facing Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) hurdles until last evening.
Apparently, the censor certificate for the Hindi version of the biopic on the freedom fighter came only around 2 pm yesterday. “According to the rules, we can apply for certification in other languages only after the film has been cleared in the main language,” said a source. Sharing that the makers could apply for the certification of the Marathi version only last afternoon, our informer added, “The CBFC has often been in the news for wrongdoings in recent times. The high-handed officials of the CBFC intentionally kept the Savarkar biopic hanging till the last day, and consequently jeopardized its Marathi release.”
