02:17After backlash over the film's reference to 2002 Gujarat riots, sources close to the
02:22Emporan producers told India Today that they've decided to make about 17 cuts in the movie.
02:27Scenes related to violence against women and riots will be removed from the film.

03:17Now, the RSS and the BJP coming against Emporan is in a way good
03:23because the people, the new generation will get to know actually what happened in Godhra.
