Censor Board Sankari Again, Randeep-Kajal Aggarwal’s Kiss Reduced!

Randeep Hooda is not a happy man these days. Not only has  his Sarbjit underperformed  at the boxoffice in spite of his bravura performance and his Laal Rang  sunk without a trace,  his precious kissing scene with Kajal Aggarwal in his next release Do Lafzon Ki Kahani has been censored to half its original length by the censor board.

Confirming the reduced kiss the film’s director Deepak Tijori says, “It was a kiss of 18 seconds. It has now been reduced to 9 seconds. That’s the only visual cut we got.”

In addition the censor board asked for the deletion of abusive words like saale and kutte.

Deepak is not happy with the censor cuts. “I guess we all have gone through censorial trauma many times over.But we are helpless as we have to live with the law of the land .They asked for  just one visual cut ,  reduction in the length of the kiss, rest are audio changes which we can’t help but accept .”

He is amused at normal everyday words being deleted. “They had objections to words like saale, kutte, etc .I find this hilarious in this day and age when kids have access to internet full of so much more .But sure.  I accept the censor demands for cuts  every time quietly, with a smile.”

Deepak Tijori can seek comfort in company.Before Randeep Hooda , ‘James Bond’ Daniel Craig and RanbirKapoor were asked to scale down their smooching in Spectre and Tamasha,respectively.
