Film actor and producer Ajay Devgn has agreed to remove the objectionable dialogues and scenes from his film Son of Sardaar before releasing it.

The actor made the promise in a meeting with Sikh religious leaders and others on Monday.

The film was involved in a controversy after the All India Sikh Students Federation (AISSF) and other Sikh groups objected to certain dialogues and said that these were portraying Sikhs in poor light. The AISSF had pointed out some dialogues that had poked fun at Sikh community.

Devgn had earlier maintained that he knew the culture and tradition of Punjab, especially of Sikhs, and would not show anything in the film that would hurt their religious sentiments.

In a statement released by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC), the mini-parliament of Sikh religious affairs, it was stated that Ajay Devgn had agreed to omit the objectionable dialogues and scenes.

“I have explained my side to the SGPC committee. We will remove the objectionable portions,” Devgn told media at a press conference.

The actor told the SGPC sub-committee that his family came from Punjab and he knew the culture of the state and would not do anything to hurt the sentiments of the Sikh community.

Son of Sardaar is set to release on 13th November 2012 nationwide in the UK.

Taking time out from a well deserved holiday, following extensive promotions and the phenomenal international success of his current film offering, Bol Bachchan, Bollywood heavyweight, Ajay Devgn, personally launched the theatrical trailer of his eagerly anticipated Diwali release, Son of Sardaar.

From his vacation in London, the all-rounder of Indian cinema launched the teaser online and interacted with his adoring fans across social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook.

The trailer of his upcoming home production has already received a phenomenal response from cinemagoers and critics alike, who are already gearing up for one of 2012’s most hotly awaited Indian film releases.

Co-produced by his home banner, Ajay Devgn Ffilms, Son of Sardaar will feature the superstar in a never-before seen screen avatar that will combine two of his most beloved genres – action and comedy – with state-of-the-art, gravity-defying stunt sequences performed by the actor himself and a hearty dose of screen tomfoolery seamlessly uniting in what promises to be this year’s must-see Hindi entertainer.

The trailer continues to stir the hype around the Lion King of India’s forthcoming screen offering, sure to become another international Box Office super hit for the movie star with the Midas touch.
