Producer claims mafia don intends to review the comic caper before theatrical release
Mohar Basu (MID-DAY; January 6, 2017)

Controversies around Vishal Mishra's upcoming comic caper, Coffee With D, which sees actor Sunil Grover in the role of a journalist who interviews underworld don Dawood Ibrahim, refuse to die down.

After having cropped off portions of the trailer that poked fun at the infamous gangster on receiving threatening calls from Chhota Shakeel's team, the makers have now decided to defer the release of the film, which was set to hit screens today.

Although Vishal maintains that the film has been pushed due to "unforeseen circumstances", sources close to producer Vinod Ramani inform that Chhota Shakeel has requested for a copy of the film for their approval before it hits screens.

Confirming the development, the spokesperson informs that Vinod and Vishal have approached the Mumbai police, who've assured to provide security to the duo. While the film has been passed by the Central Board of Film Certification with minimal edits, the makers will reconsider few portions.
