CBFC cuts down 9 seconds of sensual scenes from Hrithik Roshan, Kiara Advani, Jr NTR starrer 'War 2', along with an obscene gesture scene
Hrithik Roshan , Jr NTR and Kiara Advani starrer 'War 2' is set to hit the screens on August 14. The film is clashing with Rajinikanth's 'Coolie' and it's going to be interesting to see which film eventually takes the cake. So far, the teaser, trailer and the songs of 'War 2' have gotten a great response. Meanwhile, Kiara and Hrithik's chemistry in the 'Aavan Jaavan' song from the film also got a lot of love. But fans would not be disappointed to know that the CBFC has cut down the sensual scenes in the film. The CBFC (Central Board Of Film Certification) has given 'War 2' the go-ahead without demanding any edits to its high-octane action scenes. However, certain other portions of the film weren't as lucky, with the board instructing the makers to make some alterations. Among the first changes was the muting of 'inappropriate references' in both dialogues and visuals, a total of six instances were asked to be changed. One 'obscene' line was swapped out for a board-approved sentence, and roughly a minute later, a two-second 'obscene' gesture by a character was ordered to be removed entirely. Apart from that, the censor board directed the makers to tone down sensual imagery by 50 percent, which translated to cutting 9 seconds of footage. While the board hasn't officially named the scenes, speculation points to Kiara Advani's bikini appearance in the song 'Aavan Jaavan'. Her look has become a talking point on the internet. The full song offered more glimpses, but it has been cut down by 9 seconds, according to Bollywood Hungama. After these changes were implemented, 'War 2' received a U/A 16+ certificate on August 6, with a runtime of 179.49 minutes which is 2 hours, 59 minutes, and 49 seconds. Interestingly, just two days later, on August 8, the makers returned to the CBFC, this time voluntarily. They trimmed the film further to sharpen its pacing, bringing the runtime down to 171.44 minutes (2 hours, 51 minutes, and 44 seconds). An industry insider further revealed to the portal that it was the Revising Committee (RC), not the Examining Committee (EC), that gave War 2 its clearance. The source noted, 'It is possible that the EC must have asked for many changes, which must have prompted War 2 makers to approach the RC.' The insider further explained, 'The Presiding Officer of the RC was Padma Shri Ramesh Patange. He is known to clear those films for which the EC has had reservations. Last year, he had cleared the controversial film Hamare Baraah and also Vedaa. The latter also had faced issues with the EC after which the RC cleared the film, albeit with changes.'
