Mr Bhatti On Chutti in Censor trouble

Anupam Kher starrer Mr. Bhatti On Chutti has landed in trouble with the Censor Board. In line with reports, the makers of the film has been asked to beep out the names of Dr. Manmohan Singh and George Bush within the film.

The film's lead actor Anupam Kher was stunned after reading reports that the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has asked for these changes to be made within the script. He tweeted, "Censor Board asks makers of my film BHATTI ON CHUTTI to mute the names of George Bush & Manmohan Singh. Shocking.:) Bhatti On Chutti is a spoof. I play over d top detective who has a peace plan for President Bush. Muting his name will mutilate d film.:)"

He further added, "Is censor board telling us to not have sense of humour about politicians or our flesh pressers are taking themselves too seriously.:)"

Director Karan Razdan may be miffed with the Censor Board as he feels that if the words are muted then the entire scene will lose its context. Razdan has now approached the Revising Committee for an answer to the problem.
