Ajay Devgn and Sidharth Malhotra is all set for their upcoming film Thank God. Even before the release of the film it landend in controversy of hurting religious sentiments. As per the information, the makers have changed the name of Ajay’s character in the film from Chitragupt to CG and his associate Yamdoot’s to simply YD. This and three other modifications, were done by the makers while submitting the film for certification.
Thank God has received a U/A certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) on Friday. The film stars Sidharth a man who faces a near-death experience and must face all his vices to get a second chance. Rakul Preet Singh also stars. The film is based on Indian religious ideals but on modern avatar which does not go well with the certain section of people.
Amid the ongoing controversy the makers have made various modification.One involves blurring the logo of a liquor brand in the frame, while the other is changing a temple scene to a different angle. The third modification is in the disclaimer’s content at the beginning of the film. The duration the disclaimer stays on screen has also been increased to ensure the audience can read it. In order to deal with the controversy.
The controversy begins as after the first teaser was released, some people objected to using Chitragupta’s name. In Hindu mythology, Chitragupta is the deity of records and accounts, as it has been shown in the film as well. However, now it seems the makers have opted to take a safer route. There has been a plea asking for the stay of the film’s release filed in the Supreme Court. The court recently refused to list it on urgent notice and will now hear the matter on November 21.
About the movie, Thank God is a T-Series Films & Maruti International production, produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Ashok Thakeria, Sunir Kheterpal, Deepak Mukut, Anand Pandit and Markand Adhikari and co-produced by Yash Shah. The film is all set to release around Diwali on October 25 this year.
