CBFC Gives Nod to ‘Phantom’ with UA Certificate

Saif Ali Khan-Katrina Kaif starrer Phantom gets a 'UA' certificate. Phantom is an upcoming Indian counter-terrorism drama film directed by Kabir Khan and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala. The movie is about the post-26/11 attacks in Mumbai and global terrorism.

According to a source from the CBFC, “Both Bajrangi Bhaijaan and now Phantom have been cleared with ‘UA’ certificates and with minimum cuts. For Phantom, we asked for audio cuts of cusswords and abuses in Hindi. We didn’t hear abusive language in Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Salman doesn’t indulge in abusive dialogue. But Phantom has a lot of characters exchanging expletives. We had no choice but to clean out the language”.

This is Kabir’s second film in two weeks to be certified with a ‘UA’ by the Censor Board. Moreover, the screening of the film was applauded from the panel members of the Censor Board. This occurs very rarely.
