Don’t make Indian ‘dirty’: Censor Board suggests changes in five scenes

The much-awaited Shankar-Kamal Haasan film 'Indian 2' has been given a U/A certificate by the Central Board of Film Certification. The Censor Board also suggested five changes in the three-hour long film.

One of the suggestions is to remove the expression 'Dirty Indian' used in the dialogues of the film. Likewise, the term 'bribe market' should also be removed from conversations. It has also been directed to provide an NOC for the use of copyrighted content. Additionally, some obscenities in dialogues should be removed. There is also a proposal to increase the size of the smoking warning text shown at the beginning of the film.

‘Indian’, in which Kamal Haasan played the role of an Indian who fought against corruption, was released in 1996. Kamal Haasan also won the National Award for Best Actor for playing a double role in the film.

'Indian 2' is the sequel to the 1996 blockbuster 'Indian', which shattered box office records. The sequel features a stellar cast, including Kajal Aggarwal, Rakul Preet Singh, S J Suryah and Bobby Simha, among others. The music for the film is composed by Anirudh Ravichander. Ravi Varman handles the cinematography of the film while Sreekar Prasad takes on the editing duties. The budget of the new movie is Rs 200 crores. The film will hit the silver screens on July 12.
