Rajkumar Hirani’s biopic on Sanjay Dutt has been in the making for quite some time now and after watching the teaser and the trailer, we can now hardly wait for the film to release. But guess not everyone is just as excited for it. A complaint has been filed with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) against the much-anticipated film Sanju. In his complaint, filed by activist, Prithvi Mhaske, he has raised an objection on the toilet leakage scene in the barrack of jail picturised in the movie.

Dated June 11 and addressed to Prasoon Joshi, the Chairman of CBFC, the makers of the film, and Ranbir Kapoor, the letter stated, “In the trailer of the movie, we have seen a scene that Sanjay Dutt was in such a barrack of a jail in which the toilet overflowed. As per the information available, the government and jail authorities are taking a very well care of all the barracks of the jails. We never heard any such incidents anywhere. Earlier as well many movies were released based on the gangsters where in the jails were covered but never had seen such incidents. This particular scene will make a bad impression about the jails and jails authorities of the Indians.”
“If there is no action about the same by you then we are left with no option to approach honourable court to put stay on the release of the movie (sic),” it concluded.
Well, it remains to be seen as to how will the CBFC react to this complaint. Considering that it is a biopic, there sure must be some real-life reference for the scene or so we hope. We will keep updating you on this, so, stay tuned.
