Director chops controversial role

Bunty Walia’s film Lamhaa has been mired in controversies from day one. Now we hear that the character of militant-turned-politician Kuku Pare has been completely chopped from the film. Newcomer Ajaz Khan plays the role of Pare in the Rahul Dholakia-directed film.
Our source said, “The entire track has been removed as the producers of the film did not want any more trouble.Apparently Kuku Pare was not very happy that his character was being portrayed in the film. Bunty and Rahul decided it was best to remove the character than risk any more trouble.”
When contacted Bunty Walia said, “The character was not fitting in the scheme of things. Rahul thought that the character should be left out and that’s about it. There is nothing more to it.”
Ajaz Khan, who plays the role, said, “I have no issues if it is for the betterment of the film. Bunty is a close friend and it was a good role for a newcomer like me. However I am sure we will work together in the future. There were too many controversies surrounding the film. I guess they didn’t more with this character.”
