The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has demanded 10 cuts in Kangana Ranaut’s upcoming movie ‘Simran’. They have reportedly asked the removal of the word ‘b***h’ from six usages in the movie, which has been used to refer to people of uncertain parentage. Along with that, a casual reference to the Muslim community has also been censored.
But the most significant cuts are the onomatopoeic loud moans during sexual intercourse scenes in the movie. “The sound effect made the sex scene look far more provocative than it actually was so it was asked to be toned down,” revealed a source from the CBFC. They have further asked the maker to tone down the sound of a slap in the movie, in an attempt to curb the display of violence on screen.
“Derogating women by gesture or language will never be permissible under any guideline, be it Pahlaj or Prasoon,” added the source. Helmed by Hansal Mehta, ‘Simran’ will hit the theatres on 15th September.
