Sivaji – what were censored?

Sivaji is in news from the day it was announced, and when the d-day is nearing, the hype is reaching dizzying heights. The lucky few who have seen the special screening are just raving about the outcome. Sivaji also got censored recently with a clean U certificate but only after few minor cuts. The scenes in question include a naval close up of Shriya, a cleavage close up, again of the heroine and the last one - a double meaning dialogue rendered by Vivek.



Even though these scenes were butchered, director Shankar has an habit of taking few scenes twice with different camera angles. So will Shankar add those scenes in the final print? Will the censor board spring into action again? Only time will tell.




By the by, we the reporters at Behindwoods, really enjoy bringing to you every snippet possible about Sivaji, it keeps coming and coming. Just relax and enjoy!
