The Bangladesh Film Certification Board has raised some objections on Monday, suggesting several cuts for Shakib Khan-starrer film 'Borbad' before its release.
“We watched the film on Monday and agreed that there are some cuts to be made. If they resubmit the edited version, the certificate will be issued by Tuesday,” said filmmaker Kazi Hayat, who is also a board member.
“The board found issues with the violence portrayed in the film. The filmmakers have been asked to revise those parts," he added.
The news has left Shakib Khan's fans furious and they demand an uncut certification. The fans also have been posting on several film-related Facebook groups calling out plans to stage protests, a siege of the Bangladesh Film Development Corporation (BFDC) and a long march towards the Certification Board office in the capital’s Ramna on Tuesday.
Idhika Paul and Jisshu Sengupta from Kolkata, and Bangladeshi notable actors such as Fazlur Rahman Babu, Mamunur Rashid, Intekhab Dinar, Shahiduzzaman Selim, Misha Sawdagor will be seen sharing screen space with Shakib Khan.
The film’s teaser and released songs have already generated significant buzz among movie enthusiasts, and anticipation grew further after the Information Ministry issued the approval letter on Sunday, slightly easing concerns about its release. However, this objection from certification board have reignited uncertainty.
