Kriti Sanon-Sushant Singh Rajput's Raabta: Dirty Abusive Language Deleted & Passionate Kiss Trimmed
It was all happening at the new Censor Board office over the weekend when Team Pahlaj Nihalani had drawn out their scissors on the upcoming Kriti Sanon-Sushant Singh Rajput starrer Raabta
Kriti Sanon-Sushant Singh Rajput's Raabta, which hits
theatres on Friday, has received several cuts at the Censor Board table.
The film was seen by the Censor Board officials sometime
late last week and they almost fell off their chairs.
There were too many gaalis in the film, and most of them
are unprintable.
A source says, "The
language used in a few scenes was very dirty. The Censors were flabbergasted
that such a thing could exist in a simple love story of two young stars who are
so loved by the masses and have a nice following amongst the kids. They even
found the Kriti-Sushant kiss too hot to handle."

Adds the source, "The makers were asked to go back
home and make the changes if they wanted a U/A certificate. Else, they would have
got only an A certificate and the matter was non-negotiable."
Raabta has been majorly shot in Budapest, Hungary and
India. Deepika Padukone and Rajkummar Rao have a cameo in Raabta, which is
directed by Dinesh Vijan and produced by Homi Adajania.

Incidentally, Homi
Adajania's last film, Finding Fanny (2014) had also met with stiff resistance
from the Censors. Homi was told that if he wanted the film to be passed with a
UA certificate, he'd have to snip off a line in which the leading lady Deepika
Padukone tells Arjun Kapoor, "I am a virgin." After long
deliberation, the line in question was cleared by the Chairperson of the CBFC,
Leela Samson.
Alia
Bhatt was initially cast to play the lead role opposite Sushant in Raabta but
she turned down the role due to date issues. In December 2015, Asin was
approached but she reportedly declined the offer because of her decision to not
act post marriage.

Coming
back to the Censor clearance. Raabta went back to the editing table on Saturday evening and the Censors cleared it yesterday
at NFDC (Worli) with a U/A certificate only after the cuss words were chucked
and the kissing shot was trimmed.
