If you thought that Censor board only has a problem with kissing scenes or a few cuss words, you're highly mistaken! The Censor Board didn't even spare Sooraj Barjatya's PRDP from their stringent standards.
Sooraj Barjatya, who is famous for making happy-family dramas is in a shock because censor board has told him for three cuts in his upcoming Salman Khan and Sonam Kapoor-starrer, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo. The Board had a problem with usage of the word rakhail (mistress). The examining committee had watched the film last week and even before censor's plea to make the necessary changes, a source revealed that, "The makers decided to adhere to their suggestion."
Another two scenes that have been censored includes a Ram-Leela sequence which had a couple of old, Hindi melodies playing in the background.
An insider has revealed,
"The scene plays out with the film's title track and was interspersed with two old songs in some portions. The Censor Board felt it was not suitable to accompany the Ram-Leela visuals. The other scene shows a person being hanged, but the examining committee wanted it to be a long shot. The makers have complied with all the suggestions,"
The censor trouble was a shocker for Barjatya's. A source added, "He is known for making the cleanest family films. In fact, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo has zero offensive content. This is the first time that such a thing has happened with Barjatya. This is truly shocking."
Nandini Sardesai, member of the Board revising committee added, "Every film has to go to the examining committee first and if the makers do not agree with its verdict, they approach the revising committee. But it has not come to us. The examining committee can't talk (about the issue) as people are not supposed to know who are part of that panel."
Censor board clearly doesn't spare anyone. Do they?
