It was only after Ali and the film's producers agreed to make the required deletions that the Censor Board passed the film with a UA (Parental Guidance) rating.
The changes ordered by the board included the muting of the words in the soundtrack — words that commonly occur in Bollywood films and would have been allowed if the Rockstar team had agreed to an A (Adults Only) rating.
Likewise, a Hindi expletive which Kapoor's character uses whenever he's emotionally aggravated, has been muted wherever it occurs.
Most notable of all is the board's instruction to do away with a reference to Tibetan freedom from Chinese dominion. Apparently, Ali has been asked to do away with a flag in the film that reads "Free Tibet".
"Rockstar has been given two options regarding the flag that reads Free Tibet — either they can delete or blur the visual of the flag," said a source.
"Not that there are too many Bollywood films that would dare to take a stand on a sensitive political issue like Tibet. Rockstar does. The Censor Board has asked for its removal," the source added.
