No Deletion of scenes from Asal

Ajith's Asal  has been released today, 5th Feb. It has come good. It may be recalled that the former Union Minister Anbumani Ramdoss appealed to the producer of Asal, Sivaji Productions, director Saran and actor Ajith Kumar to delete scenes that show the lead star smoking cigar. Anbumani, who also heads the Pasumai Thayagam, said that such scenes will have adverse impact on the youth and children and threatened a demonstration. Reacting to this, Prabhu, on behalf of Sivaji Productions, Saran and Ajith, has issued a statement in which it is said that Asal has been censored and all the guidelines that the Censor Board recommended has been followed strictly. Actor-producer Prabhu said that Ajith’s speech on ‘smoking is injurious to health’ will be showed at the beginning of the film.
