Sanjay Dutt starrer, Knowck Out may get into trouble in near future, if, the flick has not received No-Objection Certificate from yoga Guru, Baba Ramdev. But, question is that why! Well the story is that the promos of the upcoming flick have some references to Baba Ramdev.
Sanjay Dutt, Kangna Ranaut and Irfan Khan starring film has been stuck at the Censor Board because of its promos. The Censor Board has asked the producers, AAP Entertainment, to get an NOC from the Baba. A source said,
“There was this dialogue in the promo where Irfan asks Sanju what he wants. Dutt replies that he wants the same thing that Baba Ramdev wants from his followers. The censor raised an objection to this as it was a reference to a living person.
The makers were in a fix as there was hardly any time for correction. So, the censor board asked the producers to get an NOC from Baba Ramdev. That’s when Mani Shankar got into action and within a few hours they got the NOC from him.
However he had to explain his entire film and the reference to context of the dialogue and why it featured in the film and thus in the promos.”
When contacted Mani Shankar, director of the film said,
“When the censor board raised an objection regarding Sanjay Dutt mentioning Baba Ramdevji’s name in the trailer of Knock Out we had very little time to respond. The matter had to be resolved within hours as we needed the censor certificate for the trailer the very same day.
Fortunately I had made several short films on spiritual themes in the past and had worked closely with leading spiritual gurus of the country. I requested Shri HV Prasad, the chief trustee of his Holiness Swami Ganapathi Sachchidananda in Mysore, to approach Baba Ramdevji with our request.
Now, the director had a talk with Baba Ramdev official spokesperson, Mr Tijarawala explaining him regarding the scene. The producers have received NOC for the film. The director said,
When my producer Mr Nag and I explained to him that there was an essential synergy in what Baba Ramdev has been saying about restoring national wealth and the theme of our film — and that the reference to Baba Ramdev was very positive — we received a no objection letter immediately. We’re very grateful to Baba Ramdev and Shri Tijarawala to respond so quickly in this matter and come to our rescue.”
Take it easy Manishankar, and breathe deeply and start following Baba Ramdev, might possible you other references too!
