It appears that the Kareena Kapoor Khan, Tabu and Kriti Sanon-starrer Crew might have some alterations before it arrives in cinemas on March 29. The teaser and trailer of Rajesh Krishnan’s directorial venture have two versions; one for digital and a toned-down theatrical avatar. The trailer of Ektaa R Kapoor and Rhea Kapoor’s joint production venture was unveiled on Saturday, at the end of which Tabu’s character orders, ‘Baith, ch****e’ to a passenger. We hear that the makers replaced the foul word with ‘bhootiye’ to get the Central Board of Film Certification’s (CBFC) clearance to show it in theatres. Previously, the teaser was also modified with ‘haraamzaade’ and ‘haraamiyon’ being replaced by ‘ameerzaade’ and ‘kamino’ respectively. While we wait for the censor details of the comic caper, it is being said that Kohinoor Airlines—a fictitious air carrier in which Bebo, Tabu and Kriti’s characters work as air-hostesses, and which goes bankrupt—is inspired by Kingfisher Airlines. If that’s not enough, their employer, played by Saswata Chatterjee, is named Vijay Walia, with no effort to shy away from hinting at Vijay Mallya.
