The Kabir Khan-directed Bajrangi Bhaijaan completes 10 years today. The film, which starred Salman Khan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Kareena Kapoor, and child actress Harshaali Malhotra, was a superhit at the box office. The story of cross-border kindness struck a chord with audiences. As the film reached this milestone, filmmaker Kabir Khan revealed how the CBFC had once asked him to make a major edit.

In the film, Om Puri made a special appearance as a Maulvi from Pakistan. His character appears at a crucial point in the film and preaches humanity over religious and national, man-made boundaries. In one of the scenes, during an interaction with Salman Khan’s character, Om Puri says, "Thoda sa humare paas bhi hai Kashmir."

Speaking to The Indian Express, Kabir was asked if that line caused any controversy back then. “No, I wasn’t thinking too much back then,” he said.
