Titled Indian Summer, Cate Blanchett's new movie tells the story about Lady Edwina Mountbatten's alleged affair with India's first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru. But shooting of the movie was put on hold because the Indian Government wanted to review the script and make sure it did not show one of the country’s revered politicians in poor light. However, it is said that the reviewing officials have consented for shooting to proceed after incidents they found objectionable were removed from the script.

“After scrutinising the script, the officials wanted some incidents removed, like the Nehru-Edwina kiss and their being in bed together. The makers have also been told to state that the film is a fictional work, and any changes in the script should seek pre-approval,” an informed source revealed.

Indo-American statesman Rajan Zed welcomed the caution surrounding the film, saying, “While we welcome Hollywood attempts to show India's history on the big screen, we'd urge the filmmakers to portray India's historical events authentically. We'd ask them not to re-imagine India's history just for mercantile greed.” Shooting for the movie is scheduled to take place in India shortly; the movie will be released in 2011.
