It
may be recalled that the former Union
Minister Anbumani Ramdoss appealed
to the producer of Asal, Sivaji Productions,
director Saran and actor Ajith Kumar
to delete scenes that show the lead
star smoking cigar. Anbumani, who
also heads the Pasumai Thayagam, said
that such scenes will have adverse
impact on the youth and children and
threatened a demonstration.
Reacting to this, Prabhu, on behalf
of Sivaji Productions, Saran and Ajith,
has issued a statement in which it
is said that Asal has been censored
and all the guidelines that the Censor
Board recommended has been followed
strictly. Actor-producer Prabhu said
that Ajith’s speech on ‘smoking
is injurious to health’ will
be showed at the beginning of the
film. |
