  • A source says, "Paresh had a scene with this line. The words remain the same but the context is different. The Censor Board has however objected to this line and have asked it to be edited out."
  • Producer Viki Rajani says, "Yes, the board asked us to delete the line as it may hurt people's sentiments. Though we are just days away from the release, we managed to convince Pareshji to come and dub for a new line. Unfortunately, the effect won't be the same."
