Over 10 days ago, Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone’s Pathaan was granted a U/A certificate by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). The Censor Board greenlit the January 25 release after their recommended 12 changes were made (Cut the butt, Jan 6). While some modifications were related to the shots in Besharam rang, the Censor Board also suggested that director Siddharth Anand replace some words, including RAW, scotch, and Ashoka Chakra. This came as a surprise as the Indian intelligence agency, and scotch have been referred to in previous films.
