A day after Shiv Sena objected to the posters of the film, Mastram, being put up on BEST buses, BEST chairman, Arun Dudhwadkar, has asked the film&rsquo;s producers to remove some objectionable lines from the posters.

Arun Dudhwadkar tells hitlist, &ldquo;We have asked them to delete a Hindi line from the posters which goes something like this: &lsquo;If you don&rsquo;t know about Mastram, please ask your father and uncle about him&rsquo;. We felt that these lines would corrupt children&rsquo;s minds.&rdquo; However, Dudhwadkar emphasises that they have not asked the makers to withdraw their posters.
It seems that Mastram&rsquo;s advertising agency had booked around 100 BEST buses for promoting the film. BEST is said to charge around Rs 10,000 per bus; this means that producer Sunil Bohra has already paid them Rs 10 lakh for his film&rsquo;s promotion. And while Bohra says that he has already made the required changes, a source close to the agency says, &ldquo;Taking heed of the objections that have been raised, we have now put up white stickers on these buses in order to block out these lines.&rdquo;
But Akshay Bardapurkar, general secretary, Shiv Sena Chitrapat Sena, insists that he wants the posters to be removed rather than censored. He says, &ldquo;We have requested the chairman to take strong action against the posters. But now it is BEST&rsquo;s prerogative to take suitable action as per their rules and regulations.&rdquo;

Acting on the Shiv Sena's complaint, BEST has asked Mastram&rsquo;s makers to delete objectionable lines from posters put up on its buses
