It's been a year since the film got stuck at the Censor Board. So what's going wrong.
Mirror broke the news of how Delhi Belly, which hit theatres on July 1, 2011, had reportedly been denied a U/A certification by the censor board for its TV premiere. Despite director Abhinay Deo's attempts to re-edit and re-dub the content of the film to suit the guidelines of TV censorship, the board has been adamant about their decision to stall the satellite release. A year down the line, the films is still waiting for its small screen debut.
Mirror has learnt that Aamir's office approached the Revising Committee to clear the Hindi version about two weeks ago. According to sources, Aamir even re-dubbed several portions of the film to make it fit for universal viewing on national television. But to no avail.
Though the Revising Committee greenlighted the English version after significant chop and change, the Hindi version is still considered too bold for Indian TV, say sources. However, there are no takers for the English version and Aamir has reportedly shown keen interest in towing the Revising Committee's line in order to take his film to the audience.
Aamir Khan and UTV Motion Pictures (the co-producers of Delhi Belly) remained unavailable for comment.
