From Red Flags to Green Light: The Surprising Transformations That Saved ‘Chhava’!
The film ‘Chhaava‘ has been passed by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). However, getting a U/A certificate was not easy for the film. The way for the release of the film could be cleared only after some necessary changes. Objectionable words were removed from Vicky Kaushal‘s Chhaava.
A dialogue in which ‘poison of the Mughal Sultanate’ was said was changed to ‘At that time, many rulers and sultanates were trying to keep themselves alive’. Similarly, ‘Khoon to aakhiri Mughal ka hi hai’ was changed to ‘Khoon to hai Aurang ka hi’. Apart from this, some objectionable words have been muted. Also, the word ‘Jai Bhavani’ has been used in place of ‘Amen’
Scissors were also used on the scene
A dialogue in the first part of the film was also changed. Apart from this, the scene in which Maratha warriors were shown in saree has been removed. These changes have been made as per the demand of CBF. Apart from this, some age related changes have also been made. Like ’16 years’ was changed to ’14 years’, ’22 year old boy’ to ’24 year old boy’ and ‘9 years’ to ‘many years’.
Audio-text disclaimer was also asked to be added
The censor board has asked the makers to add an audio-text disclaimer, which mentions the name of the book from which this film has been adapted and also states that its purpose is not to defame anyone or distort historical facts.
