Saif Ali Khan, Shahid Kapoor and Kangana Ranaut starrer film 'Rangoon' have been submitted to the Central Board of Film Certification to which they asked to impose statutory warning in certain scenes.
Says the source from Censor Board, “Since the film is set in the 1940s when it was considered fashionable to smoke, the characters are shown smoking constantly. In such cases, it’s better to keep the statutory scroll on throughout the film. But we leave it to the film’s makers to decide what they want to do.”
Censor Board chief Pahlaj Nihalani says, "We’ve asked all such scenes to be deleted. Drug abuse and smoking are not things we encourage in our films. Smoking may have been fashionable in the past. But now, it is as unacceptable as eve-teasing and stalking. To see glamorous characters getting high on drugs is not CBFC’s idea of an evening of fun at the movies."
