After holding his breath in anxiety and suspense director Nikhil Advani can breathe easy. D Day, his film on cross-border terrorism about a bunch of RAW agents assigned to bring a Dawood-like terrorist back to India from Pakistan, was passed on Saturday by the Censor Board Of Film Certification with a few dialogue cuts and a 'UA' (permitted for children's viewing with parental guidance) certificate.
Surprisingly no cuts were ordered in verbal content regarding Pakistan.
Says the relieved director, `I expected some objection to what could be considered inflammatory dialogues about Pakistan. But the Censor Board has not touched a single word pertaining to Pakistan. `
What has gone are a few dialogues by Shruti Haasan who plays a Pakistani prostitute.
Says Advani, `These are lines where she does hardcore business bargaining with her clients. I was advised to get rid of these dialogues to obtain a 'UA' certificate. I happily took them off.
My apprehensions were not about what Shruti's character has to say but about the far more important dialogues on cross-border terrorism. I am happy to say the Censor Board didn't touch any of those. `
