The government doesn't want Ram's name to be taken in the film but wants a Ram Mandir," said producer Pahlaj Nihalani after he moved the Bombay High Court, challenging Central Board of Film Certification's (CBFC) suggestion to make 20-odd cuts in his upcoming film 'Rangeela Raja.' Moving the plea, the court on Wednesday asked the tribunal to hear the issue on the already given date of November 23.

"We are waiting for FCAT's decision which will come out on November 23 and if we agree to their decision, the movie will be released. Or else we have to come back here on November 28. The censor board should be ashamed and shut down for removing Ram's name from the film," said the former censor board chief. Talking about his plea, Nihalini also mentioned how it is unjustified for the film. "All the pain is unjustified. Many people including politicians have talked about Ram Mandir and Ayodhya but they don't want to see it in a film," he added.
