Shashank Khaitan on CBFC censoring kissing scene in SSKTK

Continuing the chat, Shashank reacted to reports of CBFC censoring kissing scene in in Varun and Janhvi's Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari. The director added, "Even we are aware that woh kattne waala hai! So, it’s not a big deal. However, it was a very easy and a fun Censor screening for us. Luckily, my films haven’t faced much of a problem ever. My films usually have been passed with U/A. And the U/A rating comes up because when you dabble in comedy, you end up writing certain stuff that the CBFC members feel that yeh film parents ke saath dekhe toh accha hai. But it’s a U/A 13+; so, it’s fine."Meanwhile, are you planning to watch SSKTK on the big screen? Tweet @TimesNow and share your thoughts on X.
