Phantom Gets ‘UA’ Censor Cuts For Cuss Words And Applause
Kabir Khan, who has been missing his appointment with the censor board repeatedly, has just got his next film 'Phantom' certified by the Censor Board Of Film Certification (CBFC) with a ‘UA’ certificate. The screening of the film was greeted with applause.
Says a source from the censor board, “After the screening when producer Sajid Nadiadwala and director Kabir Khan walked in they were greeted by applause from the panel members of the censor board. This is a very rare occurrence.”
This is Kabir’s second film in two weeks that certified a ‘UA’ by the censor board.
Says a source, “Both 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' and now 'Phantom' have been cleared with ‘UA’ certificates and with minimum cuts. For Phantom, we asked for audio cuts, cusswords and abuses in Hindi.”
Apparently, Saif Ali Khan and the other actors were heard abusing in the vilest language.
Says a source from the CBFC, “We didn’t hear abusive language in Bajrangi Bhaijaan. Salman doesn’t indulge in abusive dialogues. But Phantom has a lot of characters exchanging profanities. We had no choice but to clean out the language.”
Says the Phantom producer Sajid Nadiadwala, “In my entire career of 25 years as a producer, none of my films has ever been certified with an ‘Adults’ certificate. It shows what and where my films are aimed at.”
