The Central Board of Film Certification has granted a UA
certificate with several verbal cuts to Ruchi Narain's Hanuman Da Damdaar,
which is something unheard of. The movie will see Salman lending his voice to
the character of Lord Hanuman.
Well, talking to a leading daily, CBFC Chief Pahlaj Nihalani
said, "Normally animation films, and that too one about a mythological
theme would be passed without a hitch. But this film has lots of dialogue
featuring children, which may offend religious sentiments.”
However, the filmmakers argue that the language was kept
casual as an attempt to make the mythological figure of Hanuman accessible to
younger audiences. Responding to this, CBFC Chief said, “That may be so. But
the trendy language applied to religious characters may not be taken in the
right spirit by everyone. We have to be very careful about religious content.
Yes, we’ve cut quite a few of the dialogues. But better safe than sorry.”
He further added, “Children can come and watch the film with
their parents. Problem kya hai?”
The trailer of the film shows Hanuman saying, ‘Hata Sawan ki
ghata, it’s time for my Katha' among others. The movie is all set to release on
June 2, 2017.
