Vikramaditya Motwane helmed Trapped was one film which was appreciated by the critics for acing the survival genre in Bollywood movies, but it did not make a loud noise at the box-office. National Award Winning actor Rajkummar Rao who played the lead in the film is shown to be trapped in a high-rise building, with the character finding it difficult to survive. Today the director dropped a still from the scene which was deleted as per feedback of CBFC before its release.
The scene was Rajkummar sucking on a condom, Vikramaditya dropping this still explained the logic behind it and also shared CBFC’s approach on it. Vikramaditya Motwane wrote in his caption, “On this day, 5 years ago. @rajkummar_rao sucks on a condom in a deleted scene from #Trapped.” Further explaining why it was deleted and also shed light on his interaction with the CBFC, “We were asked by the censor board to delete the scene. When I asked why, they asked me why he’s sucking on a condom.”
Replying to which he said, “I said because he hasn’t had anything to eat or drink in days and it’s strawberry flavoured. They didn’t get it. I had to delete it.” In the picture, the actor is seen sucking on condom as he sits leaning on the wall looking weak, followed by one getting a closer look at it via camera monitor also seen in the still.
