They were rather thrilled to see the film." It is also said that the trailer of the film will be launched in the upcoming week. Interestingly, a source told Mid-day that the meeting with CBFC went on for six hours despite Prasoon Joshi's absence and while the name has been changed, it has also been decided that several places with the usage of 'mental' will be muted.
