‘Why was Shahid given an 'A' certificate? And Ram Leela has an U/A certificate??? Are censor certificates given based on a film's budget? Have filed a RTI application about the granting of U/A certificate to Ram Leela. Lets see what I get,’ he twreted.

Mehta also clarified that he has nothing against Ram Leela. ‘I have nothing against Ram Leela. I am just upset by the reasoning of the CBFC when it comes to issuing certificates,’ he added.

Shahid was based on the life of Mumbai-based lawyer and human rights activist, Shahid Azmi, who was assassinated in 2010.
