The upcoming film "Shorgul" has received a clearance from the censor board and has got a U/A certificate.
"We are happy that censor board gave us a U/A certificate and this can reach the masses," Samira Kelkar, CEO 24FPS Films Production, said in a statement.
The film has received a clearance from the censor board inspite of the film touching upon sensitive issues such as Muzaffarnagar, Godhra and Babri Masjid riots. The film will bring to life real-time political scams of controversial high-profile dignitaries that rocked the nation.
The film, which is directed by Jitendra Tiwari and Prashant V Singh, is set in the background of Uttar Pradesh and stars Jimmy Shergill, Hiten Tejwani, Eijaz Khan, Ashutosh Rana and Sanjay Suri in the lead.
