CBFC asks makers of ‘Fighter’ to remove ‘sexually suggested visual’

Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has asked Siddharth Anand’s ‘Fighter’ to remove a ‘sexually suggested visual’ featuring leads Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone.

The board asked for a total number of four modifications in the film. They include:

– The anti-smoking static message was asked to be mentioned in Hindi.
– An abusive word was muted or replaced in two dialogues, one at 53 minutes and the other at 1 hour and 18 minutes.
– ‘Sexually suggested visuals’ were removed. These 8 seconds of visuals were probably replaced by ‘suitable shots’.
– Around 25 seconds of the audio in a TV news visual scene was removed and replaced with 23 seconds of audio.

The film was granted a U/A certificate, clearing its way for release on Thursday 25th January.
