Amritsar: A controversial film that glorifies former Army chief General A S Vaidya's assassins as heroes is most likely to be re-examined by the Censor Board after several concerns were raised by security agencies. 'The Mastermind Jinda Sukha' which was based on the lives of Harjinder Singh Jinda and Sukhdev Singh Sukha who killed Vaidya in 1986, after he led Operation Blue Star, has been banned by the Centre. “The CBFC has received fresh inputs from security agencies regarding the possibility of unrest that could be caused by the flagrant content of the film. The film has already received certification for public screening but this is being reconsidered,” Censor Board sources said. The film is not shy in its praise for the two assassins and is based on the duo's letters that were published as a book. Directed by Sukhjinder Singh and produced by Australia-based Singh Brothers it is slated for an international release.
