Besharam Rang controversy: CBFC censors ‘close-up shots’ showing Deepika Padukone’s ‘buttocks’ in Pathaan song, cuts word RAW – LEAKED doc goes viral | Movies News
New Delhi: Ahead of its big release, Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone starrer ‘Pathaan’ has already hogged the limelight but not for any good reasons. The first song released by the makers, ‘Besharam Rang’ irked a section of people for being too bold. The part where she wears a saffron bikini set, left many staging a protest over the colour of her clothes. After a lot of hullaballo, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has apparently advised some major changes in the movie and the song in particular.
As per a leaked Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) document shared by Kamaal R Khan aka KRK on Twitter, words such as RAW have been replaced in th movie and also close-up shots showing Deepika’s buttocks, side pose (partial nudity)’ shots, and other sensual dance moves have reportedly been replaced with ‘suitable shots’ in Besharam Rang track.
