Censor Board clears film on Indira Gandhi’s assassination

MUMBAI: Actress Soha Ali Khan and Vir Das-starrer 31st October, based on former PM Indira Gandhi’s assassination, was cleared by the Censor Board after several cuts and a four-month delay. Directed by National Award-winning filmmaker Shivaji Lotan Patil, the movie is based on the aftermath of Indira’s assassination. Producer Harry Sachdeva said many of the scenes depicting violence and bloodshed had to be edited. “I took nine major cuts. The censors insisted that some of the scenes and dialogue could instigate a particular community, so it needed to be toned down,” Sachdeva said.
