Film on Telangana issue to be released

Decks have been cleared for the release of 'Jai Bolo Telangana', a feature film on the Telangana statehood issue, with the director accepting the removal of certain scenes suggested by the state Censor Board.

"The Censor Board has suggested some cuts. I agreed to it. I plan to release the film on February 4," the film's director N Shankar told on Thursday.

A controversy was triggered after the Censor Board initially objected to certain scenes in the film and the Telangana activists, including TRS, took exception to the stance of the Board.

The students of Osmania University and others had tried to storm the Censor Board office here.

However, the issue was resolved after the director agreed to the cuts suggested by the board.
