Upendra’s upcoming movie Shivam’s makers are not happy with the Censor Board’s decision to cut 4 minutes of the film. Shivam’s director Srinivas has expressed his anguish over it.

 

He said, "Sure, the board is only doing its job, but we feel like we often do not have the liberty to voice our opinions about our own history. The issue arises when we cannot prove the reason behind many of the events that have taken place in history. For example, we cannot show why and what led to the demolition of some of our temples. Some of the dialogues that are about religion are the ones that have been chopped off."
