Filmmaker Tigmanshu Dhulia says the censor board raised objections over a dialogue in Dilip Kumar’s film, after questioning its use on the grounds that Dilip Kumar was Muslim. Dhulia recounts the incident involving the phrase “Hey Ram,” saying the objection was linked to the actor’s identity rather than the dialogue’s content.
Dhulia also identifies Dilip Kumar’s background as Muhammad Yusuf Khan and notes that he played a character named Ganga in the film. The account is presented as part of Dhulia’s recollection of how the censor process handled certain lines and whether religious associations affected approval.
While the reports focus on Dhulia’s statement about the censor board’s reasoning, they do not include the precise film details, the specific censor certification outcome, or the board’s official explanation. The emphasis across outlets remains on Dhulia’s claim that the dialogue’s approval was challenged in relation to Dilip Kumar being Muslim.
