Pushpa 2: The Rule Faces Censor Board Axe Allu Arjun Starrer Asked To Delete Violent Scenes, Limit Words. Check Details


(MENAFN- Live Mint) Pushpa 2: The Rule is set to hit theatres next week after receiving an U/A certificate from the censor board. The Allu Arjun starrer was reportedly asked to make several changes - including the deletion of some excessively violent scenes and the removal of certain words.

According to a report by bollywood Hungama, the makers of Pushpa 2 were asked to delete the word 'r***i' from three dialogues in the film. Other words including 'Denguddi' and 'Venkateshwar' were also removed. The Central Board of film Certification had also sought the removal of some exceedingly violent scenes - including a snippet that featured an amputated leg sailing through the air. Another scene had reportedly showcased Pushpa holding a severed arm.

The film was initially scheduled for a release in August but faced delays. The makers had eventually locked December 6 as the release date earlier this year. The release has since been preponed by a day - now slated to hit theatres on December 5.
