Director Vishal Mishra talks about Sunil Grover and 'Coffee With D'

Popular comedian Sunil Grover’s ‘Coffee With D’ is all ready for a release. But the tension between him and Vishal Mishra, the producer and director of this film is not coming to any end. As the actor has already clarified that he will not promote this film anymore, now it has been heard that he has not been allowed to see the film also. The reason for this as stated by director Vishal Mishra is that after receiving threats from the underworld, Sunil wanted to edit out the scenes which carried Dawood Ibrahim’s controversial dialogues.

He has also given a statement related to this, saying, “Why should I let Sunil Grover see the film when he wanted to personally edit out all the scenes with Dawood Ibrahim’s controversial dialogues? He was instructed to eliminate those dialogues about Dawood, or else he would be faced with another kind of elimination.He wanted to personally edit out all the scenes that  are the crux  of the film.”

“I cannot reduce my film to an ineffectual condition just to appease threatening elements. Sunil Grover can afford to mess with the film. I can’t. It’s my baby,” added the director staying unaffected by these threats.

Apart from Grover, ‘Coffee With D’ also stars Zakir Hussain, Dipannita Sharma and Anjana Sukhani.

It is slated to release this Friday on January 20.
