Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham starrer Pathaan is all set to release on the big-screens from January 25th. However, ahead of the film’s release, the makers have faced a lot of objections from the right winged groups. Not only that, but even the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) had asked them to make certain changes and to adhere to religious sentiments. Adding on to their plate, Delhi High Court has now asked them to make certain additions to their movie.
As reported by Hindustan Times, the high court on Monday directed Yash Raj Films Production (YRF) to add “subtitles, closed captioning and audio description in Hindi” for visually and hearing-impaired audiences to enjoy the movie on OTT platforms. They asked the makers to submit the changes to CBFC again for re-certification. According to Bar and Bench, they have asked YRF to submit the details by February 20.
