Veteran star Om
Puri’s legacy seems to be under threat after the actor’s sudden death in
January this year. We had told you earlier that Om Puri still had to shoot some patch-work
scenes for Salman Khan starrer Tubelight at the time of his death.
And now
SpotboyE.com can tell you Om Puri’s last film, Khalid Kidwai’s Rambhajjan
Zindabaad, may never get a release date.

After Om Puri’s
death last month, Kidwai, the producer of the film, had announced that they are
delaying the release of the film to mark the mourning period of the National
Award winning actor.
The makers had
announced that the film will release in February. Watch the trailer below:
But all their plans have been scuppered by the Central Board Of Film Certification.
After the film was sent to Pahlaj Nihalani & Co. for the censor certificate, it was rejected outright.
The reason-- the film which is set in Uttar Pradesh apparently shows the government in a negative light.
Rambhajjan Zindabaad revolves around the misuse of the state’s compensation scheme for rape victims and Om Puri plays a doctor’s compounder who is an important agent in the illegal nexus which allows the misuse of the schemes.

After it’s first rejection, the makers took the film to the Revising Commitee, but again got a thumbs down.
Now the producers plan to take the film to the Tribunal but the chances of Rambhajjan Zindabaad are pretty slim.

It is clear that even though the CBFC may have become lenient when it comes to sexual content in Bollywood films, it will not bend when it comes to films questioning the establishment.
Unfortunately, Om Puri’s swan song has been caught in this meddle!
