Makers of Jaswant Singh Khalra biopic move court after CBFC recommends 21 changes; hearing to be held on July 14

The CBFC planned to award the Diljit Dosanjh movie an A grade and also gave the producers a list of 21 changes that must be made after certification.

Many of RSVP Movies' films have the right tone and are excellent works of art. Jaswant Singh Khalra, one of the most significant films from the production company, is soon to be released and has been in the news for a number of reasons. Despite receiving an A rating, the biopic starring Diljit Dosanjh and Arjun Rampal has been asked to make over 20 cuts by the CBFC and has been certified as an Adult Only film. The makers then filed a lawsuit in court challenging the CBFC's ruling.

According to the most recent information regarding the movie, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) awarded the movie an A certificate because they felt that some parts of it were too fictionalised and dramatised. The removal of some dialogue, the movie's disclaimer, and its title are just a few of the approximately 21 changes that the makers have been advised to make in accordance with the CBFC report.

RSVP Movies by Ronnie Screwvala protested the cuts and changes recommended by the CBFC by filing an appeal with the Bombay High Court under Section 5C of the Cinematograph Act, claiming that the cuts violated Article 19(1)(a) of the Indian Constitution and were not covered by Section 5B of the Cinematograph Act. The proceeding pertaining to this will be heard on July 14, 2023, at 2:30 p.m. before Hon. Justice RI Chagla.

The biopic was first submitted to the CBFC for certification in December of last year, according to a source close to the project, who also said, "The film was initially submitted to the CBFC for certification in December 2022. However, certification was slow, and even after over three months passed, the CBFC stayed mute. In May 2023, RSVP filed a writ suit to the Bombay High Court seeking orders against the CBFC to decide the certification application. The CBFC stated at the hearing that a decision regarding the film's certification will be made by May 26, 2023. But, it's still pending!"

The movie, which was directed by Honey Trehan, is based on the real life of well-known human rights advocate Jaswant Singh Khalra. Arjun Rampal plays a significant role in the upcoming film, which also features Diljit Dosanjh in the lead role.
