After the reports of protests against AR Murugadoss' Sarkar, the Madras high court has granted the director interim relief from arrest till 27 November. The director had applied for anticipatory bail as the protests and opposition to the film's scenes grew.
The director had tweeted a complaint about the police visiting his residence late at night earlier. Murugadoss remarked that the policemen had left since the director was not at home.
The makers have now removed the scene of people 'throwing mixer and grinder into the fire', as well as muting the name 'Komalavalli' in the film. The latter name implies an accusation at the late former chief minister J Jayalalithaa.
Another two muted words are those of 'Podhupannithurai' (Public Service) and '56 varusham' (56 years).
The film, with its edited sequences, is expected to be screened in theatres from Friday afternoon.
Sarkar, produced by Sun Pictures, released in theatres on 6 November.
