Raveena Tandon recalls rejecting film with Shah Rukh Khan over costume issues
In a recent interview with Filmfare, Raveena Tandon revealed that she turned down a film project with Shah Rukh Khan due to uncomfortable costume choices. She explained that while she was initially onboard, the discussion of costumes made her reconsider. She found them overly objectifying and not in line with her comfort level, leading her to decline the role. She said, "The costumes were really weird. It wasn’t something I would be comfortable wearing. I thought it was a little too objectifying."
Raveena also praised Shah Rukh Khan as one of the most 'witty, warm, and gentlemanly' co-stars she has had the pleasure of working with. She recounted that when she informed Shah Rukh of her decision, he was surprised and questioned her refusal, especially since they were already collaborating on projects like Jaadu and Zamaana Deewana. Raveena clarified to him that the costumes made her feel uncomfortable and out of place.
CBFC removes two cuss words from Khel Khel Mein
Ahead of the release of Khel Khel Mein, featuring Akshay Kumar, Vaani Kapoor, Taapsee Pannu, and Ammy Virk, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has granted the film a U/A certificate after requesting the removal of two cuss words.
According to Bollywood Hungama, the CBFC did not mandate any visual cuts but required the muting of the words 'b*****d' and 'son of a b*h.' It is not specified whether these terms have been muted, removed, or replaced. The film, with a runtime of 2 hours, 14 minutes, and 7 seconds, received its censor certificate on August 8, 2024.
