Only a week away from its release,
Neeraj Pandey's espionage thriller '
Aiyaary
' has run into trouble with the Central Board of Film Certification. Next in line after the much controversial 'Padmaavat', 'Aiyaary' is still awaiting clearance for a censor certificate.
A source close to the development shares, "Since 'Aiyaary' is set against the army backdrop, the
Defense Ministry
wants to review the film." The film, which revolves around a plot that showcases corruption within the system, has been put under screening by the Defense Ministry.
With the latest turn of events, team 'Aiyaary' is in distress as the failure of garnering a censor certification has resulted in the film's overseas release in question. The film portrays
Sidharth Malhotra as an army officer sharing a mentor-protege bond with Manoj Bajpayee. 'Aiyaary' also stars
Anupam Kher, Naseeruddin Shah, Rakul Preet Singh, Pooja Chopra in pivotal roles.
