MUMBAI: The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has stalled the release of Pritish Nandy Communications’ (PNC) forthcoming comedy film titled Mastizaade due to its explicit content.

Directed by Milap Zaveri and starring Sunny Leone in a double role, the movie also stars Tusshar Kapoor, Vir Das and Riteish Deshmukh in a special appearance. It has been co-written by Mushtaq Sheikh and Zaveri.

The CBFC and the Film Certification Appellate Tribunal have not cleared Mastizaadeso far, which was initially slated to release on 1 May, 2015.

PNC has informed the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) that it is taking appropriate steps to resolve this issue in the quickest possible manner.
