Jai Gangaajal director Prakash Jha has denied reports he made some changes in his upcoming cop drama to get a ‘U/A’ certificate from the Censor Board.

Filmmaker Prakash Jha has denied reports he made some changes in his upcoming cop drama ‘Jai Gangaajal’ to get a ‘U/A’ certificate from the Censor Board.

It was reported that the board wanted to grant the Priyanka Chopra-starrer an ‘Adult’ certificate with minimal cuts but Jha was not in agreement.

Prakash Jha was apparently told by the CBFC to clean out his soundtrack and visuals of verbal and physical violence to make “Jai Gangaajal” eligible for a U/A certification.

Slamming the report, Jha tweeted, “Misleading and inaccurate! Never made voluntary cuts.. We are going in appeal against the CBFC’s decision…”

The director, who is bringing the sequel to his popular 2003 film “Gangaajal” with the movie, also shared the link of the incorrect story with his fans and followers on the micro-blogging site.
