Ajay Devgn assures objectionable parts will be removed from ‘Son of Sardar’

Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn landed in the middle of a controversy after he released promos of his upcoming film ‘Son of Sardar’ on You Tube. Apparently, some of the dialogues of the film sparked an outcry among the Sikh community and therefore the actor-producer has decided remove objectionable portions from his movie.

The 43-year-old actor showed promos of his movies to a panel of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC). At the meeting complainant Karnail Singh Peer Mohammad, president of a faction of the All India Sikh Students Federation. Punjab information and public relations minister Bikramjit Singh Majithia were also present.

During the meeting the actor explained all about his movie. He insisted he also belongs to a Punjabi background and he would never hurt the intentions of his brothers.

Devgn promised the Sikh community that whatever they think is objectionable in the movie shall be removed.

Devgn said, “The movie is about Sikhs. I am a Punjabi and hurting sentiments of Punjabis will mean hurting sentiments of my own family. I can never do that.”

“There were some promos on Youtube to which there were objections. Since I have great respect for the Sikh community, I have come here and shown them the promos and listened to their objections. I have promised to do the needful,” Devgn added.

After meeting Devgn, public relations minister, Majithia, shared his thoughts with the media as well.

Majithia said, “In view of the objections, leading actor Sanjay Dutt approached Punjab deputy chief minister Sukhbir Badal and asked him to get the issue resolved. The deputy CM asked me to arrange a meeting between the SGPC and Devgn.”

“Devgn is a seasoned actor who belongs to Punjab. He has assured that he has the highest regard for Sikh sentiments and nothing objectionable will be exhibited in the movie,” Majithia added.

Devgn’s ‘Son of Sardar’, is slated to hit the cinema halls on Diwali (November 13). The movie will feature Ajay Devgn, Sonakshi Sinha, Sunjay Dutt, Juhi Chawla, Mukul Dev and Vindu Dara Singh in the lead roles.
