Well-known star Emraan Hashmi's forthcoming film Cheat India
which will release on January 18, 2019 has a new title now - "Why Cheat
India". The makers of the film received a last-minute objection from
Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) over the title. Tanuj Garg, one of
the producers of the film confirmed the same to a daily.
The producer told that the board had concerns about the
title of the movie. He also said how they had a long conversation regarding the
new change as the trailer as TV promos had earlier been certified with the
original title but they finally agreed on a title change.
As per a daily, the examining committee saw the movie last
Thursday and told that title was a point of discomfort as it was controversial
and misleading. "They argued that film with the title has been in the
public domain since the last two years and was playing the trailer and promos
for a long time but EC was firm and referred it to the Revising Committee which
watched the film on Saturday and echoed the sentiments of the EC," the
source revealed to a daily.
