Controversy

The Censor Board had raised an issue during the screening of the film over a scene in which one of the Chapekar brother 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. Post that incident, MNS President Raj Thackeray has pledged his full support to the movie and slammed the Censor Board.
