Vikrant Massey, with his performance in Vidhu Vinod Chopra`s ‘12th Fail’, stole hearts. Now, the actor is gearing up for the release of his upcoming drama, ‘The Sabarmati Reports’. The movie, which was slated to release on May 3, is facing trouble from the CBFC. According to recent reports, the CBFC has asked the makers to push the release of the film considering the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. It was further claimed that the board has asked the filmmakers to reshoot a few sequences as they can hurt human sentiments.
“The makers applied for a certificate at the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). Its Examining Committee saw the film and had objections to certain scenes. Also, fearing that it might violate the model code of conduct as laid down by the Election Commission of India, it has been advised that it should be released after the last phase of elections, which will take place on June 1," a source told Bollywood Hungama. While another source claimed, “The CBFC’s reservation was that certain moments in the film can hurt the sentiments of a section of the moviegoers. Hence, the team of the film might reshoot the sequence."
