After Sanjay Leela Bhansali 's magnum opus Padmaavat , the Neeraj Pandey directorial has run into the controversy with CBFC. The hotly anticipated film is still awaiting clearance on its film print. A source close to the development shares, "Since Aiyaary is set against the army backdrop, the Defense Ministry wants to review the film."
The film which revolves around a plot that showcases corruption within the system has been put under screening by the Defense Ministry. With the latest turn of events, team Aiyaary is in distress as the failure of garnering a censor certification has resulted in the film's overseas release in question.
Neeraj Pandey 's espionage thriller will yet again present a mind-bending story by the pioneer of the genre. ' Aiyaary ' will showcase the ace filmmaker's hold over the genre after films like ' Special 26 ', ' Baby ', ' Rustom ', ' M.S.Dhoni ', ' A Wednesday '.
' Aiyaary ' revolves around two strong-minded army officers having completely different views, yet right in their own ways. The film portrays Sidharth Malhotra as an army officer sharing a mentor-protege bond with Manoj Bajpayee.
Starring Manoj Bajpayee and Sidharth Malhotra as the mentor and protege, ' Aiyaary ' also stars Anupam Kher , Naseeruddin Shah , Rakul Preet Singh , Pooja Chopra in pivotal roles.
