Controversy



Chapekar Brothers received a diktat from the Censor Board over a film scene. The Censor Board had raised issues during the screening of the film over a scene in which one of the Chapekar Brothers 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.
