Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan team asked to make THESE changes by Delhi HC. Find out what
Pathaan is easily one of the most anticipated Hindi films to release worldwide in a very long time.
It will also have one of the biggest on-screen pairings in the history of Indian cinema – Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone – given their epic blockbusters Om Shanti Om, Chennai Express and Happy New Year. Ahead of the film’s release on January 25, the Delhi High Court has directed the makers to add some changes in the film. The HC asked Yash Raj Films to prepare subtitles, close captioning and audio description for the visually and hearing impaired audience.
DELHI HC DIRECTS YRF TO MAKE CHANGES TO PATHAAN
Touted as one of the biggest ever action spectacles that audiences will see in theatres, the Yash Raj Films’ action extravaganza, Pathaan, is part of Aditya Chopra’s ambitious spy universe and has the biggest stars of the country- Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham – in it.
On Monday, January 16, the Delhi High Court directed Yash Raj Films to prepare subtitles, close captioning and audio description in Hindi for the film. The reason behind that is for the visually impaired and the hearing impaired audience to enjoy the film too. However, it should be noted that the changes have been asked to make just on the OTT platforms. The court hasn’t passed any directions for Pathaan’s theatrical release. The Delhi HC also told YRF to submit the film with the changes to the Central Board Of Film Certification (CBFC) again by February 20. The CBFC will pass its decision by March 10.
