"Flying Jatt has the potential to be another Jai Santoshi Maa" - Censor Chief Pahlaj Nihalani

24 Aug 2016

In a rare show of trust and confidence Pahlaj Nihalani the chairperson of the Censor Board says Tiger Shroff's new super-hero film A Flying Jatt has the potential to be a cult film.

"It is not a copy of the Hollywood super-hero films. The problem with Bollywood super-hero films is, they try to be like their Hollywood counterparts. The desi super-heroes try to be like Batman, Superman and Captain America. Why would our audience pay Rs 350 to see a copycat version of Bollywood super-heroes", says Nihalani, strongly endorsing A Flying Jatt's strong originality and religious undertone and approving of the film as a prime example of the Prime Minister's Make In India campaign.

Says Nihalani, "A Flying Jatt is a true Indian film.

Iss film ka dil hai Hindustani . Tiger Shroff plays a true Sikh. A bhakt of Vahe Guru . This is the first Indian super-hero film with such a powerful message on divinity and God. A Flying Jatt has the potential to be another Jai Santoshi Maa , the 1975 cult hit which spawned entire generations of devotees." Sources say the ruling government strongly approves of films that propagate religious tenets and beliefs in a positive and life-enforcing manner.
