Sunny Leone's 'Mastizaade' gets censor certificate

Filmmaker Milap Zaveri's upcoming adult comedy Mastizaade has finally got the censor certificate, said its actor Riteish Deshmukh. The film, which wrapped up in December last year and is expected to hit theatres in May, was being held back by the Censor Board owing to its bold content.

Mastizaade stars Sunny Leone, Tusshar Kapoor and Vir Das in prominent roles. It is produced by Pritish and Rangita Nandy.

Riteish, who will be doing a cameo in the film, tweeted, "Censor Certificate for Mastizaade congrats @PritishNandy @zmilap @RangitaNandy @SunnyLeone @thevirdas & @TusshKapoor."
