A still from upcoming film 'Chapekar Brothers'

On Sunday, the Examining Committee of the Central Board of Film Certification asked the makers of upcoming Hindi film, Chapekar Brothers (due to release on September 2) to remove a scene that has one of the brothers killing a Christian missionary for forcing Hindus to convert during the British Raj. The makers objected to this by citing that a 1979 Marathi film titled 22 June 1897, based on the revolutionaries, included a similar scene. The vernacular film went on to win the National Award for Best Feature Film on National Integration the following year, but the CBFC refused to use the reference as legitimate.
