Hyderabad: Decks have been cleared for the release of 'Jai bolo Telangana', a feature film on the Telangana statehood issue, with the Director accepting the removal of certain scenes suggested by the state Censor Board.

"The Censor Board has suggested some cuts. I agreed to it. I plan to release the film on February four," the film's Director N Shankar told reporters on Friday.

A controversy was triggered after the Censor Board initially objected to certain scenes in the film and the Telangana activists, including TRS, took exception to the stance of the board.
