On the day of its trailer release, Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s upcoming film Thackeray based on the life and times of Shiv Sena supremo Balasaheb Thackeray, has landed into trouble as the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has objected to three scenes.

The makers have claimed that of the three cuts suggested in Abhijeet Panse's directorial, the first one is a reference to Babri Masjid that CBFC wants to be removed. While the second is a Thackeray's comment pertaining to the agitation against South Indians, the last one dialogue contains some words that are termed objectionable by the CBFC.

Talking about it, producer and Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut told a leading channel, "We are in the process of complying with the Censor Board's instructions. This will not affect the trailer launch," further adding, "Balasaheb's statements had always been controversial. His style of speaking was such."
