Authorities on Wednesday ordered deletion of four scenes from Anurag Kashyap's Manmarziyaan before its screening in Jammu. The order was passed by district magistrate, Jammu, Ramesh Kumar following a representation by a Sikh organisation, which said the film had hurt the religious sentiments of the community, officials said. The community has objected to certain scenes which show the characters smoking.

The film, featuring Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal and Abhishek Bachchan, was released on September 14 and is being screened at different theatres in Jammu. "It is hereby ordered that the four scenes that hurt the sentiments of the Sikh community be deleted or blocked from the film before it is screened in the cinema halls," the officials said quoting an order issued by the district magistrate. Kumar directed the concerned Sub-divisional Magistrates, Tehsildars, Sub-divisional police officers and Station House Officers to ensure the compliance of the order.
