After watching the promo, Pahlaj Nihalani objected to the use of the word 'intercourse' in a dialogue, a report published in
The Quint stated. Speaking to news agency ANI, he said that for digital medium "there is no need for certificate" but what's aired on television needs to certified by the Central Board Of Film Certification (CBFC).
"We (CBFC) cannot stop content on the internet. But we can and will stop the broadcast of the uncensored footage on television. We've granted a 'UA' to the trailer on condition of deletion of the dialogue about the intercourse. But they've not come back to us with the deletion. So in principle, the trailer has not been passed yet," Pahlaj Nihalani was quoted as saying by
The Quint.
