Raees: Shah Rukh Khan film gets U/A certification, six verbal cuts
It seems that Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Raees has found some appreciation from the censor board. Censor Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has given the film a U/A certificate with six verbal cuts. There are no visual cuts. The verbal cuts in the film are not abuses. Raees is reportedly based on the life of gangster-turned-politician Abdul Latif.
“They granted Raees a ‘UA’ with six verbal cuts and those cuts were not abuses. Shah Rukh plays a ganglord but doesn’t utter a single expletive. It is amazing how much he respects the aesthetics of his family audience. The board members praised Shah Rukh for keeping the dialogues clean even while acting out his business, ” a source was quoted as saying by DNA.
The verbal cuts had to do with dialogues that cast aspersions on real-life characters. Producer Ritesh Sidhwani was apparently happy with censor board’s decision. He said that makers were asked to make some audio changes and add a disclaimer in the film.
