The much-talked about film “Jai Bolo Telangana” directed by N Shankar on the backdrop of Telangana statehood agitation is facing troubles from Censor Board.
The film, scheduled to be released on January 28, could not get the nod from Censor Board, which obviously felt that the film, if released in its present form, might foment further troubles between the people of Telangana and Andhra regions. Some of the scenes and dialogues are said to be hurting the sentiments of Seemandhra people. The Board wanted all those scenes, dialogues and songs be deleted from the film.
Shankar, who made an appeal to the Central Censor Board, made it clear that he would not agree for any cuts. The Telangana Rashtra Samithi activists and OU students joint action committee leaders stormed the Censor Board office in Samachar Bhavan and staged a dharna.
The Telangana protagonists argue that the film was based on factual situations and there were no derogatory comments against other regions. Moreover, since the film will be released mostly in the Telangana region, there is no way the Andhra people would be agitated, they said.
