Shruti Haasan's dialogues get axed

Director Nikhil Advani can breathe easy.
D-Day, his film on cross-border terrorism
about a bunch of RAW agents assigned t
bring a Dawood-like terrorist back to
India from Pakistan, was passed on
Saturday by the Censor Board. Surprisingly, the board had no qualms
regarding rantings against Pakistan but
took offence to few dialogues by Shruti
Haasan in the film. She plays a Pakistani
prostitute in the film.

Says, the director, "These are lines where
Shruti does hardcore business bargaining
with her clients. I was advised to get rid
of these dialogues to obtain a 'UA'
certificate. I happily took them off. My
apprehensions were not about what Shruti's character has to say but about th
far more important dialogues on cross-
border terrorism. I am happy to say the
Censor Board didn't touch any of those."
