Salman Khan’s ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’ faces Censor Board’s ire, gets three cuts

“The two scenes that have been censored includes a Ram-Leela sequence which had a couple of old, Hindi melodies playing in the background. “The scene plays out with the film’s title track and was interspersed with two old songs in some portions. The Censor Board felt it was not suitable to accompany the Ram Leela visuals. The other scene shows a person being hanged, but the examining committee wanted it to be a long shot. The makers have complied with all the suggestions,” added the report.

This is for the first time that this has happened and the film’s team is reportedly shocked over this.

However, Nandini Sardesai, member of the Board revising committee, has denied this. “Every film has to go to the examining committee first and if the makers do not agree with its verdict, they approach the revising committee. But it has not come to us. The examining committee can’t talk (about the issue) as people are not supposed to know who are part of that panel,” she said.

Also starring Sonam Kapoor, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Swara Bhaskar and Anupam Kher, ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’ is slated to release on November 12.
