Shane Nigam’s much-anticipated film ‘Soul of Haal’ has run into a censorship crisis, with the Censor Board instructing the filmmakers to remove a scene featuring beef biryani and dialogues related to a ceremonial salute.
In response, the film’s production team has approached the Kerala High Court, challenging the board’s directive.
The board’s objections include the dialogue “Dhwaja Pranama, the team is on guard” and a scene depicting the consumption of beef biryani.
These instructions have delayed the issuance of the censor certificate, putting the film’s release on hold.
Filmmakers argue that these cuts compromise the narrative and have sought judicial intervention to resolve the issue.
Directed by debutant Veer, ‘Haal’ was originally scheduled to re
