CBFC’s objection on 'intercourse' word in SRK-Anushka starrer Jab Harry Met Sejal!



Bollywood stars Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma's Jab Harry Met Sejal has already become the talk of the town. The movie's mini trailers and the Radha song which was released yesterday has already become a hit, but, it seems like the CBFC is not happy.

In the second mini trailer, Anushka is seen asking Shah Rukh Khan to sign an indemnity bond which absolves him of all legal charges if they end up in a 'sexual relation'.

"Agar humare beech koi sexual relation hota hai, amounting to or not amounting to full intercourse, you are absolved of all legal charges" Anushka says Shah Rukh Khan in the trailer.

While the trailer released on the internet without any diktat, the CBFC isn't happy with it as the uncensored version has actually reached certain TV channels.

Speaking to a famous tabloid, CBFC Chief Pahlaj Nihalani told, "We've granted a U/A certification to the trailer on condition of deletion of the intercourse dialogue. They're yet to come back to us on that. So in principle, the trailer has not been passed yet."

He further added, "They've uploaded the uncut trailer on YouTube. The CBFC cannot stop content on the Internet. But we can and will stop the broadcast of the uncensored footage on television. The trailer has been picked up from the web and is being aired on various news channels. This is completely against the law, and we plan to take the strictest action against the channels which have aired the censored content from Imtiaz Ali's film."

But, Jab Harry Met Sejal team told a Television channel that the entire matter is a non-issue. "We have not released the promo of the film where the word 'intercourse' has been used, either in theatres or for TV. Only the censored promo has been released for TV and theatres. The promo where word 'intercourse' has been mentioned, was released only on the internet, and there is no censorship there. We have not broken any law," they told.


Directed by Imtiaz Ali, Jab Harry Met Sejal is all set to release on August 4, 2017.
