CBFC asks Sitaare Zameen Par makers to add PM Modi's quote after opening disclaimer: Report

Days after giving Sitaare Zameen Par clearance without any cuts, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) is believed to have asked the makers of the Aamir Khan-starrer to make a few additions to the movie, including the addition of a quote by Prime Minister Narendra Modi after the opening disclaimer.

According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, the release of the film was in limbo after the Censor Board suggested a few cuts in the movie, which was not acceptable to Aamir Khan.

The superstar was reportedly not satisfied with the changes asked by the CBFC's Examining Committee.

According to this report by Bollywood Hungama, the Revising Committee asked the makers to replace some terms used in the movie, like 'Michael Jackson' with 'Lovebirds' and 'Business Woman' with 'Business Person'.

The Revising Committee also asked the producers to remove a visual with the word 'kamal'.

After these changes were reportedly made, the CBFC granted a U/A 13+ certificate to the Sitaare Zameen Par.

Directed by RS Prasanna, Sitare Zameen Par hit cinemas on Friday (June 20).

As far as the box office report is concerned, Sitaare Zameen Par has collected Rs. 1.03 crore from advance bookings.
