It's an irony of sorts, but Bollywood mein sab kuch hota hai. John Abraham's upcoming film Satyamev Jayate, helmed by Milap Zaveri, has got an A certificate. The decision has come as a slight surprise.

Milap who directed the sex comedy Mastizaade and wrote Grand Masti, Masti and Kyaa Kool Hain Hum 3 may have thought that he could bring the kids in with Satyamev Jayate. However, talking to SpotboyE.com, he maintains, "No, I had a feeling that Satyamev Jayate will get an A certificate only."

SpotboyE.com also has it that Milap and the film's producer Nikkhil Advani approached the Revising Committee so that the decision of the Examining Committee could be reversed- but in vain.


A source says, "Obviously they had to try. There have been many instances in the past when after few changes, the film has managed to get a U from the former A that it was granted."

So why has Milap got an A? Is it also true that certain lyrics were chopped from a song because the Censor Board found those inflammatory? "I have used background music in that portion. A few lyrics of a certain song had to be deleted," Milap confirms.

"Satyamev Jayate is not for kids. It has violence, no doubt. It is not a popcorn film. There is a very important Muharram sequence where there is blood. John kills corrupt cops in the film. It is targetted at the mass audience. It makes a very strong statement against corruption and violence on women," he adds.
