Reduce the usage of the ‘F**k’ word
Director Vikram Bhatt, whose films have ran into censorship hurdles in the past, had a tough time with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) for his upcoming flick, `Raaz Reboot`. He concedes that the cuts they asked for the Emraan Hashmi-Kriti Kharbanda-Gaurav Arora-starrer left him flabbergasted. The CBFC asked the filmmaker to cut down the usage of the `F` word from 32 to 16. The original scene in question features a possessed Kriti screaming the `F` word at Emraan and Gaurav in a satanic kind of succession. Vikram says the reason given to him was that `32 is too much and can`t be allowed`. Besides, the trailer, which was given a `U/A` rating for theatres, was given an `A` rating for television. The director asked his promo makers to study horror shows on TV and cut the trailers accordingly. "Out of the three 20-second promos that it sent to the Censor Board, one was given `U/A` and the other two were rated `A`.
