Rana Daggubati's The Ghazi Attack Is Partly Fictional And Partly Authentic?

The Ghazi Attack is Rana Daggubati’s much awaited film of the year. Fifteen days ahead of its release, the Censor Board has given a notice to the makers of the movie.  The movie is India's first submarine warfare film based on the mysterious sinking of PNS Ghazi, a Pakistani submarine, during the 1971 India-Pakistan war.

The Censor Board Of Film Certification (CBFC) has asked the makers to put out disclaimer which states that the movie is partly fiction and partly authentic. As per a source from the CBFC, “There is no comprehensive evidence that the incident detailed in The Ghazi Attack has any actual historic bearing. Yes, the incident is reported to have happened during the 1971 Indo-Pak war. But we can’t accept the film as a historical document. We’ve therefore asked them to remove the announcement in the opening titles declaring the film to be based on historical facts and instead add a disclaimer saying the work is partly fictional and partly authentic”.

Helmed by Sankalp Reddy, the film is being bankrolled by PVP Cinema. The film, which stars Taapsee Pannu, Atul Kulkarni, Kay Kay Menon and Om Puri, is all set to release on February 17. Recently, Karni Sena activists misbehaved with the crew members of Padmavati and one of them even slapped director Sanjay Leela Bhansali claiming that the film is distorting the historical facts. May be the Censor boards don’t want any other movie to go through this and thus are asking them to issue the disclaimer.
