SIDHARTH MALHOTRA AND MANOJ BAJPAYEE'S AIYARRY DELAYED AGAIN?

Sidharth Malhotra and Manoj Bajpayee featuring action thriller Aiyaary which looks promising from the trailer will now be released later from the scheduled date. The movie which was scheduled to release on 25th January eventually got postponed to 9th of February to avoid the clash with other two big films and now it seems that the trouble is not going to solve for Aiyaary as of now as the movie might get a week delay even now.

Less than a week prior to its release, the Defence Ministry expressed its wish to review the film as it is set against the backdrop of Indian Army. A special screening was held on Saturday in Delhi by the Revising Committee of Ministry of I&B, which was attended by officials from Defence Ministry and members of the Central Board of Film Certification. It has been learnt that the body asked for five cuts in the drama. The last-minute changes have sent the makers back to the editing table.

Co-producer Jayantilal Gada admitted that the film, in all likelihood, wouldn't hit theatres on Friday. "There's a strong chance that Aiyaary will be postponed to February 16. The team will submit the film to the CBFC only after making the recommended changes. The overseas delivery of the film looks difficult, considering we won't have the censor certificate in time. That will, in turn, affect the India release."

While one wonders what prompted the MoD to watch the drama, a source revealed that it was a hush-hush meeting, with only the director representing the film. Gada confirmed the news stating, "There were a few modifications, which we are incorporating." If Pandey's team is unable to meet the deadline, Akshay Kumar's Pad Man will enjoy a solo release on February 9.

Well, let's see if the makers can make up to the scheduled date or not!
