UP to lift ban on Aaja Nachle after lyrics removed

The Mayawati government in Uttar Pradesh had on Friday banned the movie in the state and also written to the Prime Minister demanding a complete ban on the film throughout the country alleging its title song has ‘humiliated’ Dalits.

Krishna said that although the film producers have stated that controversial lines will be removed from the song, it would be verified whether it has been executed or not before going ahead with lifting the ban imposed by the government.

He said that directives to this effect were being issued to respective district magistrates to check that the lines have been removed in the reels available with the cinema halls and accordingly allow its screening in their areas.
