At a time when many directors, producers as well as actors have openly criticised the Censor Board’s new ways of censorship, which includes deleting abuses or expletives from the screenplay, the CBFC has struck again. This time, the film that’s been affected is the Kangana Ranaut-Imran Khan starrer Katti Batti. And you won’t believe what the Censor Board decided to chop off from the film. The word ‘boobs’!
The film, which revolves around a couple who are into a live-in relationship has now been passed with as many as seven cuts. And a source tells us, “The film does have some abuses which have been censored. But what left everyone shocked is the way the censors felt that the word ‘boobs’ isn’t appropriate for the film.”
Ever since Pahlaj Nihalani has turned the chairperson for the CBFC, his newly made modalities and rules have only curbed the freedom of making films. Many filmmakers have even hit back at the Censor Board for its forceful regulations but to no avail.
Katti Batti hits theatres this Friday.
