Just four days to go for the release of Indu Sarkar, and filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar is no mood to tackle more controveries for the film.

The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) had asked the director for 14 cuts in his political drama "Indu Sarkar", which is set against the backdrop of Emergency. But now the filmmaker has got the film cleared by the revising committee with few cuts. And the relieved filmmaker tweeted to confirm the film's release this Friday, "Thank you CBFC Revising Committee. Indu Sarkar has been cleared with cuts."

But SpotboyE reports suggest that Indira Gandhi's character has been reduced to minimal in the film. According to the report, India's then Prime Minister who declared Emergency in 1975 will hardly be seen in the film. Her name will never be uttered and a very few scenes have been retained now. Supriya Vinod plays Mrs Gandhi, while Neil Nitin Mukesh will be seen in the role of her son Sanjay Gandhi.The cut which was shown to Tribunal has also excluded the name of BJP leader Lal Krishna Advani.

Congress has been protesting against the release of the film, ever since trailer of Indu Sarkar is out. They labelled the film as a political propaganda and the film's cast also had to cancel their promotions in Nagpur over the protests by Congress workers. Earlier, Bhandarkar had censured the controversy surrounding his upcoming directorial venture and had asserted that the movie is not a documentary, but a work of fiction.

"My movie is based on the story of a husband and a wife, who have contradictory opinion about the Emergency. It's about the clash of points of view and the backdrop of the movie is the Emergency. My film is an emotional journey. I am concentrating on that thing and they are simply bullying a filmmaker by asking him to change something or the other," he added.

'Indu Sarkar' is based on a 21-month long period, from 1975 to 1977, when the then prime minister Indira Gandhi unilaterally had a state of emergency declared across the country. The film stars Kirti Kulhari, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Anupam Kher and Tota Roy Chowdhury in lead roles.
