New Delhi: The newly build Central Board of Film Certification has run its first scissor over Amitabh Bachchan starrer Shamitabh.
Censor Board has cleared R Balki's upcoming directorial venture but has demanded to cut off several scenes and cuss words.
While everyone is looking forward to see Big B and Dhanush together on the big screen, Censor Board on the other hand has asked the makers to make quite a few changes in the film. Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has given Amitabh starrer U/A certificate but at the same time wants few scenes to be chopped from the film along with a lot of abusive words.
While talking to a leading tabloid, a source said, “Some dialogues were peppered with abusive words such as m*******d and b*******d. So, the board's examining committee has asked the makers to replace them with other words before issuing them a U/A certificate for the film.”
Apart from the swear words, the censor board members are said to have taken objection to three scenes, including one in which Dhanush is in a graveyard and another where he shows the middle finger.
The film's director, R Balki, however, did not seem perturbed about the snip job. "We had a very good screening for the Censor Board and are happy with the U/A certificate," he said as quoted by a leading daily.
Amitabh Bachchan, Dhanush, Akshara starrer is all set to release on February 6.
