Sunny Deol’s ‘Suryaa: Ant Se Aarambh Tak’ Awaits CBFC Certification, IMA Demands Ban on Film
Sunny Deol’s upcoming film “Suryaa: Ant Se Aarambh Tak” has landed in hot water with the Indian Medical Association. Previously, the IMA wrote a letter to the Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting, Ashwini Vaishnaw, saying that it portrays the medical profession in a bad light and has asked for a ban on the release of the film. The domestic certification board is yet to analyse the project.
The Central Board of Film Certification has weighed in on the current situation and shared an update, as reported by ANI. Ahead of the film’s November 20 release date, it is expected to head to the CBFC for its due certification process but as of October 22, it has not reached the board.

They have objected to the promotional content of the “Suryaa,” saying that the clips released so far depict the medical profession as one marred with corruption and unethical practices. They wish that the film would do away with the generalization of the professional misconduct shown in the project which could potentially harm the people involved in the profession of saving lives. They have asked for a due review and subsequent action from the body.
