Omung Kumar denies chopping Richa Chadha’s scenes from Sarbjit

Omung Kumar on Wednesday said no scenes featuring Richa Chadha were cut from Sarbjit.

Filmmaker Omung Kumar on Wednesday said no scenes featuring Richa Chadha were cut from “Sarbjit” — as opposed to what the actress has claimed.

“It is completely untrue about us cutting her role. It is a bound script, the scenes were exactly the same before starting the film and I had narrated Richa the same. So, no scenes were cut of hers in the film,” Omung said in a statement.

“Sarbjit”, which released on May 20, is based on the real-life story of Sarabjit Singh, an Indian villager who was convicted for spying and terrorism and languished in a Pakistani jail for several years, while his sister Dalbir Kaur, tried vigorously to secure his release. He was attacked by inmates at a prison in Lahore in April 2013 and died a few days later.
