| |||
Wednesday, 30th Sept 2015, 4:09 PM IST Akshay Kumar starrer ‘Singh Is Bliing’ which will be releasing this Friday has been given U/A certificate by CBFC. But, the censor board has also ask to edit out some crucial scenes. The scenes had earlier offended Sikh cultural organizations. A source close to the film said, "The censor board was very clear on the issue of cultural policing. Only if the objectionable scenes were seen to disobey the censor guidelines would those scenes be censored. There were two such scenes which Sikh organizations objected to and which the censor board has decided to delete from the film. One of them has Akshay Kumar using his holy kadaa (iron bangle) like a weapon and the other scene shows Akshay Kumar's turban catching fire. These two scenes have been censored. The rest of the film had no objectionable scenes at all." However, the 'U/A' certification might prove to be a setback as the film was targeted at the superstar’s young fans. Director Prabhudheva said, "We've aimed the story at kids. The 'U/A' certificate doesn't mean children are less important to the film. It just means they've to come with their parents. Once they do Akshay and I promise them a grand time."
