Vin Diesel maybe one of the biggest stars in the world. Hell, he may just be THE biggest movie star on this planet. But our Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) is not impressed.
The Board has reportedly taken Diesel’s dialogues in his new film xXx: The Return Of Xander Cage to the cleaners. According to a source, common profanities and cuss words used generously by Ranveer Singh in Befikre and even Sharman Joshi in Hate Story 3 have been ordered out by the censor board in xXx. All cuss words like ‘ass**le’ , ‘bit*h’ and ‘fuc**r’ have been taken out to make the film more palatable to viewers of all ages.
“And yet the film has been given a ‘UA’ certificate after all that cleaning up. There are shots of girls in skimpy outfits pouring drinks and lounging in bed that have been deleted from xXx. We had more semi-nude female forms in Befike, Love Games, Hate Story 2 and Wajeh Tum Ho. Vin Diesel has been turned vegetarian in India,” says the source.
