A
scene
from
Sitaare
Zameen
Par.
The
Central
Board
of
Film
Certification
has
issued
a
direction
to
this
week’s
release
Sitaare
Zameen
Par
to
add
a
Narendra
Modi
quote
in
the
opening
disclaimer.
According
to
a
report
in
the
Hindustan
Times
newspaper
five
changes
were
suggested
to
the
makers
to
include
in
the
film.
While
it
doesn’t
specify
what
Modi
quote
they
wanted,
the
CBFC
has
asked
for
the
replacement
of
the
term
‘business
woman’
with
‘business
person’.
The
30-secon
disclaimer
at
the
beginning
of
the
movie
needs
to
be
replaced
with
a
26-second
voice-over.
A
visual
containing
the
word
‘kamal‘
(lotus)
needs
to
be
removed,
including
its
appearance
in
the
subtitles.
Michael
Jackson’s
name
needs
to
be
replaced
with
‘lovebirds’
in
the
subtitles.
Reportedly,
the
makers
have
compiled
with
all
the
suggestions.
A
remake
of
the
Spanish
film
Champions,
the
Aamir
Khan-Genelia
Deshmukh
starrer
portrays
the
story
of
a
basketball
coach,
who
teaches
the
sport
to
a
team
of
special
needs
children
as
part
of
a
court-mandated
community
service.
Aamir,
on
a
recent
Aap
Ki
Aadalat
episode,
stated
that
Prime
Minister
Modi
had
set
a
target
for
Viksit
Bharat
by
the
year
2047.
‘PM
Modi
in
his
vision
for
2047
India
has
stated
that
we
need
to
take
along
persons
with
disabilities
for
which
he
has
got
a
new
law
for
inclusivity,’
Aamir
had
said.
