Now with the movie is about to get released, Super 30 has been passed by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). The movie has got U certificate it hasn't been a clean approval. There have been a couple of changes made to the film.
The most interesting change was regarding a dialogue in the film where India mythology 'Ramayana' is mentioned. Though the context of the conversation is not clear, the usage of the word has irked Censor Board enough to get it changed to 'Raj Purana'!
Another big change was a scene in the song 'Paisa' where the minister trying to touch the dancer sleazily is replaced with normal shots.
Check out the changes below:
We are really curious to what is it about the mention of 'Ramayana' that annoyed Censor Board enough to get it changed. Recently the Bombay rebuked the Board for its need to changed and modify scenes in a movie. It had said, "You (CBFC) are a certification board and not a censor board. You will not decide what one wants to watch and see. Nobody has given CBFC the intellectual morality and authority to decide what one wants to watch and see." Looks like the words have felt on deaf ears.
