Tuesday, 2nd January 2018, 07:00 PM IST The news has been floating in since the last few days that the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has ordered 26 cuts in ‘Padmavati’, but the fact is that the CBFC has not suggested any cuts in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s film. It has asked for five changes for the movie to get a U/A certificate. This has been clarified by censor board chairperson Prasoon Joshi. On Saturday, CBFC — following an examining committee meeting — said it has decided to give a U/A certificate to the movie subject to modifications. Prasoon Joshi told to an agency, “There are no cuts suggested in this film by CBFC, only five modifications.” He said they have asked the makers to change the disclaimer “clearly to one that does not claim historical accuracy”. Regarding the film’s title Padmavati, Joshi said the discussed change is to ‘Padmavat’ as the filmmakers have attributed their material/creative source as the fictional poem Padmavat and not history. That apart, they have demanded modification in the “incorrect/misleading reference to historical places”, Prasoon said. CBFC has also asked the makers to modify the song Ghoomar to make the depiction befitting the character being portrayed and also a disclaimer that the film in no manner subscribes to the practice of Sati or seeks to glorify it”. About the changes, Prasoon said “are completely in agreement with the filmmakers — the producers and director of the film”.
