‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’: Here’s how Alia Bhatt reacted to CBFC cuts in film

Karan Johar’s ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’, starring Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh, got certified by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) after the board suggested certain cuts.

Now, Alia Bhatt has addressed the matter and said that the makers of her upcoming film have made ‘some minor’ changes respecting the suggestions, but the final film flows ‘seamlessly’.

‘There have been some minor cuts that have been asked by the board and we respect that completely and that has been coordinated but whatever cut (of ‘Khela hobe’) you’re talking about is not the case. I think we should let everybody watch the film and not talk about what’s been cut. The final cut (of the film) is seamlessly flowing regardless of these minor cuts,’ the actor told reporters.

CBFC reportedly asked the producers to change a few scenes containing abusive words and to remove references to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, including the dialogue ‘Khela hobe’ (Game on) — the slogan of her party TMC during the 2021 Assembly elections.

Makers were also told to remove the mention of Lok Sabha from dialogue and make some changes to the Rabindranath Tagore scene.

The name of the popular rum brand Old Monk has been changed to Bold Monk.

‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’ has been given a U/A certificate, and has a run time of 2 hours and 48 minutes.

Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh recently visited Kolkata to promote their forthcoming film. Backed by Dharma Productions, the movie is slated to hit the screens on July 28.

The movie also stars Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan, Shabana Azmi, Tota Roy Choudhury, Churni Ganguly, and Aamir Bashir.
