Amrish Puri’s grandson Vardhan Puri’s debut vehicle Paagal which is being produced by his dad Rajeev Puri has met with some big boulders on its way to the silver screen! Well, the objections are from the censor board. Puris have been told that they have to change the title and even words like Paagal and Paagalpan from the film’s narrative!
Well, this isn’t and should not be a cause for concern for other filmmakers. This will not be happening if the word Paagal is used in the lighter context (pagal ho tum, Pagalpan Chodo) or even (Dil TO Pagal Hai, Mai tumhare Pyaar Mein Pagal). However, things would turn murky if the word is used in hinting at someone being lunatic.
Along with that Prasoon Joshi’s team also demanded a cut in one of the scenes that depicted rear nudity and it also wants the deletion of the mention of a woman’s underwear at one place.
According to a Spotboye report, Vardhan said he wasn’t upset about it. The reported quoted the actor as saying, "We think that kuch cheezein aisi hoti hai which will help us in the narrative but kuch cheezon pe unhone (Censors) light daali jaise ki some things which are related to social stigma, and at the end of the day, it made a lot of social sense. We discussed with our team and felt that the changes that have been asked for, don't affect the film. We are doing the modifications. We are a responsible family and shall never insist on anything which can degrade somebody."
So, the changes are indeed being incorporated, but it seems that there is a lot of work left. Rajeev had earlier announced that he would be out with the film’s release date but that didn’t come to pass yet. We hope issues with the debut film of Amrish Puri’s grandson is mitigated at the earliest and the released date is announced soon!
