Actors Gossips: Khaali Peeli: Ananya Panday, Ishaan Khatter film faces CBFC scissors, lecherous gazes, mentions of virginity removed

Ananya Panday and Ishaan Khatter’s latest film Khaali Peeli underwent a bunch of cuts and editing to urge the Central Board of Film Certification’s approval. The film is going to be available to observe on pay per view basis online and at a couple of drive-in theatres.

Ishaan Khatter and Ananya Panday’s film Khaali Peeli are going to be out on October 2 not just on your laptop and television screens but also at a couple of drive-in theatres in Gurugram and Bengaluru. Therefore, it had been sent to the Central Board of Film Certification and needless to say, suffered a bunch of needless editing.

Not just swear words, the CBFC also decided to get rid of mentions of ‘virginity’, lecherous gazes at Ananya’s character, and even the word ‘item’. Some ‘sensuous and explicit’ parts of the song Tehas Nehas were also asked to be edited out.

Dialogues like ‘Saale nalla hai tu. Fattu hai’, ‘Dus saal tak virgin raha; hold karke baitha tha’, ‘virgin bhramachari’ and ‘harami’ were omitted. ‘Maa ki aankh’ was replaced with ‘bhains ki aankh’, ‘maa ki’ with ‘bhains ki’, ‘item’ with ‘ladki’ and ‘r****i’ was replaced with ‘aunty’.

The producers were also asked to feature a disclaimer within the beginning that nobody attached to the movie supports exploitation and objectification of youngsters and ladies. They were also asked to extend the font size of their tobacco warning.

Helmed by debutant director Maqbool Khan and backed by filmmaker Ali Abbas Zafar, Himanshu Mehra, and Zee Studios, the film also stars Paatal Lok actor Jaideep Ahlawat. Khaali Peeli went on the floors in September last year and was scheduled for a June 12 release but was delayed thanks to the shuttering of film theatres.
