Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma`s second production venture `Phillauri` was  released on March 23, 2017, but not without censor cuts. The  Diljit Dosanjh, Suraj Sharma and Mehreen starrer  hit theaters with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) cuts likes of muting Hanuman Chalisa in the film. The Censor claimed that it would have otherwise “hurt religious sentiments”. Diljit Doosanjh is paired opposite Anushka Sharma `Phillauri`. A lengthy scene with Suraj reciting the Hanuman Chalisa in the bath tub in the presence of Shashi - a ghost (played by Anushka) has been muted as ghosts are supposed to be eradicated not pacified with the recital of the Hanuman Chalisa! This amounted to hurting of religious sentiments, according to the censor. So, the CBFC asked for the Hanuman Chalisa to be removed from the soundtrack. All the audience will hear now is Suraj long droning chant which would be inaudible.  The CBFC has also asked the makers of `Phillauri` to add a disclaimer at the beginning announcing that they do not subscribe to any of the superstitions shown in the film nor do they believe in ghosts.
