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.
